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
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup Monterey Jack cheese
  • ¾ cup heavy cream

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for spice)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • ½ cup diced tomatoes

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: In a saucepan, bring beef broth, butter, salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork.
  2. Prepare the Steak: Season steak strips with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cumin. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook steak for about 3-4 minutes per side until browned. Let rest before slicing.
  3. Make the Queso Sauce: Warm heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in cream cheese until melted; then add cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese until smooth. Mix in garlic powder and cayenne pepper (if using).
  4. Assemble: In serving bowls, layer rice at the base followed by sliced steak. Drizzle queso sauce over the top.
  5. Garnish: Top with fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, jalapeños, and sour cream.
