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

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice: In a medium saucepan, bring beef broth, butter, salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to a boil. Add rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-18 minutes. 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. Cook steak for 3-4 minutes per side until browned; let rest for 5 minutes.
  3. Make queso sauce: Warm heavy cream in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in cream cheese until melted. Gradually add both cheeses while stirring constantly until smooth. Mix in garlic powder and optional cayenne pepper.
  4. Assemble bowls: Divide cooked rice into bowls; top with steak strips and drizzle with queso sauce.
  5. Garnish: Add chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, and sliced jalapeños.
