Ingredients

  • 1 lb steak (such as flank or sirloin), sliced thin
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 2 cups beef broth (or water)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend works well)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: fresh cilantro or parsley

Instructions

  • Cook the steak: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak slices, season with salt, pepper, paprika, and cumin. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the steak is browned and cooked through. Remove steak from the skillet and set aside.
  • Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  • Cook the rice: Add the rice to the skillet and stir to coat with the vegetables and oil. Pour in the beef broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Combine and melt the cheese: Once the rice is ready, return the cooked steak to the skillet. Stir everything together and top with shredded cheese. Cover and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can use any steak cut you prefer, but a tender cut like flank or sirloin works best for easy slicing.
  • For a spicier version, add some jalapeños or chili powder to the mix.
  • This recipe can be customized by adding vegetables like corn or black beans for extra flavor and texture.
