Description
A delicious and hearty dish combining tender steak with creamy queso and flavorful rice.
Ingredients
- 1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup queso cheese dip
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn, frozen or canned
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the sliced flank steak with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the steak to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the rice and toast for 1-2 minutes until slightly golden. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- Once the rice is cooked, stir in the queso cheese dip, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Mix well until everything is heated through and the cheese is melted.
- Return the cooked steak to the skillet and gently fold it into the rice mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat everything together.
- Serve the steak and queso rice in bowls, garnished with chopped cilantro and lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the rice mixture.
- Substitute the flank steak with grilled chicken or shrimp for a different protein option.
