Ingredients

Steak

  • 2 lb sirloin steak thinly sliced
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoon cumin

salt and pepper to taste

Rice

  • 4 cups white rice or brown rice - cooked
  • 2 tablespoons butter

salt to taste

Queso Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cups white cheddar cheese shredded
  • ½ cup diced green chilies

salt and pepper to taste

Serving

½ cup diced tomatoes for garnish (optional)

chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)

4 tablespoons guacamole for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Steak

  • Place the steak into a shallow dish.
  • Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and rub the seasonings into the steak.
  • Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the remaining olive oil.
  • Place the marinated steak slices into the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Rice

  • Use the same skillet, but remove any excess oil before proceeding.
  • Melt butter in the skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the cooked rice and stir to coat evenly.
  • Season with salt to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

Queso Sauce

  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.
  • Slowly pour in the milk while whisking constantly to avoid lumps.
  • Once the milk is incorporated, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced green chilies. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble

  • Divide the rice among four serving bowls.
  • Top each bowl with the cooked steak and drizzle with the creamy queso sauce.
  • Garnish with chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, and guacamole, if desired.
