Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb flank steak, cubed into 0.5-inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1.5 cups long -grain white rice
  • 3 cups low -sodium beef broth
  • 1 cup prepared white queso dip
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Season the cubed steak with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak cubes until browned on all sides, approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove steak and set aside.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the same skillet. Sauté the onion and bell pepper for 5 minutes until softened.
  • Add the dry rice to the skillet and toast for 2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  • Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 18 minutes or until the liquid is fully absorbed and rice is tender.
  • Stir the cooked steak back into the rice.
  • Fold in the queso dip until the mixture is uniform and creamy.
  • Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
