Ingredients
1 lb flank steak or sirloin steak, cut into strips
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup long-grain white rice
2 cups beef broth
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
-
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Add the steak strips and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
-
Add the rice to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables. Pour in the beef broth and bring to a simmer.
-
Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
-
Return the steak to the skillet, stirring it into the rice mixture.
-
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top and cover the skillet again. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
-
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
Feel free to substitute the cheddar cheese with mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or a combination for a creamier texture.
You can use any tender cut of steak, such as ribeye or skirt steak. Ground beef is also an option if you prefer.
This recipe can be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or microwave, adding beef broth or water to restore moisture if needed.
