If comfort food had a crown, this bowl would wear it. Cheesy Steak & Queso Rice is a rich and satisfying dish where seared steak meets a creamy, melty cheese duo over perfectly cooked rice. It’s hearty, flavorful, and irresistibly indulgent—all made in under an hour.
This recipe delivers on all fronts. Juicy steak is seasoned simply but effectively with garlic and onion powder, then pan-seared until browned. It’s paired with soft, sautéed bell peppers for a pop of color and a sweet edge that balances the richness. The base is fluffy white rice cooked in beef broth to deepen the savory profile, and the whole bowl is brought together with a luscious pour of warm queso blanco and shredded cheddar that melts into every crevice.
Perfect for cozy dinners, casual get-togethers, or when you’re just craving something bold and cheesy, this dish doesn’t disappoint. And the best part? It’s easy to customize with whatever steak cut or cheese you prefer, and the leftovers taste just as great reheated the next day.
