Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb steak strips (sirloin, flank, or ribeye)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • 1 cup jasmine or basmati rice
  • 2 cups beef broth

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for spice)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice: In a saucepan, bring beef broth, butter, salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to a boil. Stir in rice, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
  2. Cook the steak: Season steak strips with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cumin. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook steak for 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Let rest before slicing.
  3. Prepare queso sauce: In a saucepan over low heat, warm heavy cream and melt in cream cheese. Gradually add cheddar and Monterey Jack until smooth; mix in garlic powder and cayenne pepper.
  4. Assemble: Divide rice into bowls; top with sliced steak and drizzle with queso sauce. Garnish with cilantro, diced tomatoes, jalapeños, or sour cream as desired.
