Instructions:
- Cook rice with water or beef broth according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season steak cubes with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add to the skillet and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté diced bell peppers until tender and slightly charred, about 5 minutes.
- Return the steak to the skillet. Lower the heat and stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well coated.
- Spoon rice into bowls. Drizzle queso blanco over the rice.
- Top with cheesy steak and peppers. Garnish with fresh parsley.
- Serve hot and enjoy every melty, savory bite.
Variations :
- Use leftover grilled steak or rotisserie chicken for a shortcut version.
- Add jalapeños or green chiles for extra spice.
- Swap white rice for brown rice or cauliflower rice for a different twist.
Tips :
- Let the steak rest a couple of minutes after cooking to retain its juices.
- For ultra-creamy queso, warm it gently with a splash of milk before drizzling.
- Want a one-pan version? Cook the rice in a deep skillet, then fold everything in for fewer dishes.
