Steak Queso Rice Recipe


  • Author: I
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound flank steak (or sirloin, thinly sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice (or brown rice)
  • 2 cups beef broth (or water)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or a Mexican blend)
  • 1 cup queso cheese dip (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned, drained)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
  • Sour cream (for serving, optional)
  • Sliced jalapeños (for serving, optional)

 


Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Steak

  1. In a bowl, season the sliced steak with garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak and cook for about 3–4 minutes until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Rice

  1. In the same skillet, add the uncooked rice and toast it for about 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  2. Pour in the beef broth, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 15–20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

Step 3: Combine Ingredients

  1. Once the rice is cooked, stir in the queso cheese dip, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, and the cooked steak. Mix until everything is well combined and heated through.

Step 4: Serve

  1. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve warm with sour cream and sliced jalapeños if desired.
