Print Recipe

A tantalizing bowl of savory steak strips coated in spices, creamy queso sauce, and fluffy rice, topped with fresh vegetables.

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
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 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 medium saucepan, bring the beef broth, butter, salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to a rolling boil. Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

  3. Prepare the queso sauce: In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream, then add cream cheese. Gradually mix in cheeses, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper until smooth.
  4. Assemble the bowl: Divide rice into bowls, drizzle queso sauce over, and layer steak strips on top.
  5. Garnish and serve: Top with cilantro, jalapeños, sour cream, and diced tomatoes. Serve hot.

Notes

Consider marinating the steak for an hour prior to cooking for enhanced flavor. Customize the dish with your favorite spices or vegetables.
