Crafting the delicious Steak & Queso Rice is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Cook the Rice: In a medium pot, combine the uncooked rice and beef broth (or water). Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

2. Prep the Steak: While the rice cooks, season the slices of flank steak with salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin.

3. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.

4. Cook the Steak: Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the seasoned steak strips. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the steak is browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally.

5. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

6. Combine Ingredients: Once the rice is cooked, add it to the skillet with the steak and vegetables. Stir in the queso cheese sauce, mixing everything until well combined and heated through.

7. Taste and Adjust: Taste the dish and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Following this process ensures your Steak & Queso Rice turns out flavorful and satisfying, leaving everyone eager for seconds!
