Instructions
Creating Steak Queso Rice is quite simple. Follow these easy steps for a delicious meal:
1. Prepare the Steak: In a medium bowl, toss the steak pieces with olive oil, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Ensure the steak is well-coated.
2. Brown the Steak: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned steak and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the steak and set it aside.
3. Cook the Rice: In the same skillet, add the uncooked rice and stir for about 1 minute to toast it slightly.
4. Add Liquid: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
5. Combine Ingredients: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Add the diced tomatoes, followed by the cooked steak.
6. Simmer: Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
7. Add the Cheese: Once the rice is cooked, remove the skillet from heat and fold in the shredded queso cheese until melted and well combined.
8. Garnish and Serve: Top with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor.
