Ingredients
  

1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced

2 cups cooked white rice (jasmine or basmati recommended)

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

1 cup queso dip (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper (any color), diced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Steak: Season the flank steak slices with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and ground cumin. Let it marinate for about 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

    Cook the Steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated steak strips. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked through and browned. Remove steak from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until soft and fragrant. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

        Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked steak to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir until well combined, and then add in the cooked rice. Mix together thoroughly.

          Add Queso and Cheese: Pour the queso dip over the rice and steak mixture. Stir gently until everything is evenly coated and heated through. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top and allow it to melt slightly.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for a zesty finish.

              Enjoy your hearty Steak & Queso Rice dish that's perfect for a cozy dinner or a lively gathering with friends!
