Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb steak (such as flank or sirloin), cut into strips
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup queso cheese sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped cilantro (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat the skillet: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
- Season and sear the steak: Add steak strips to the skillet, seasoning them with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté until the steak is browned and cooked through, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Warm the queso: In a separate pot, gently heat the queso cheese sauce until it’s warm and gooey. Stir occasionally to keep it smooth.
- Assemble your bowl: Serve the cooked steak over a bed of warm rice, letting the savory juices soak in.
- Drizzle and garnish: Generously drizzle the warm queso sauce over your steak and rice masterpiece, and finish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for that fresh pop.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, use the stove or microwave until warmed through.
