Follow these straightforward steps to create your own Steak & Queso Rice:

1. Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of beef broth to a boil. Add 1 cup of uncooked rice, reduce the heat to low, and cover. Cook for 18-20 minutes until the rice is fluffy and has absorbed the broth. Remove from heat and set aside.

2. Prepare the Steak: Season the thinly sliced steak with salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin. Ensure all slices are evenly coated.

3. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until they are tender.

4. Cook the Steak: Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. In the empty side, add the seasoned steak slices. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked to your preferred doneness.

5. Add Garlic: Once the steak is almost done, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

6. Combine Rice and Queso: Add the cooked rice into the skillet with the steak and vegetables. Pour in the queso cheese and stir until the cheese is melted and everything is well combined.

7. Taste and Adjust Seasoning: Taste your mixture and adjust salt and pepper according to your preference.

8. Garnish: If desired, chop fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the dish for an added burst of flavor and color.
