Creating the amazing Steak & Queso Rice is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Steak: In a bowl, combine sliced steak with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for about 5 minutes.
2. Cook the Steak: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated steak. Cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. Prepare the Rice: If you haven’t already, cook your rice according to package directions. Fluff it once done.
4. Combine Queso and Rice: In a separate pot, heat the queso dip over medium-low heat until warmed through. Add the cooked rice and stir until the rice is well-coated in queso.
5. Mix in the Steak: Gently fold the cooked steak into the queso rice mixture, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.
6. Serve Immediately: Transfer to plates and garnish with fresh cilantro and jalapeño slices if desired.

These steps will guide you in preparing a delightful dish with minimal fuss, perfect for any occasion.
