Ingredients

1 pound sirloin or flank steak, thinly sliced
2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
1 cup queso cheese sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 medium bell pepper, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced onions and bell peppers and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Increase heat to high and add the thinly sliced steak to the skillet. Season with chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked to desired doneness, about 5-7 minutes.
While steak cooks, reheat queso cheese sauce in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently.
Once steak is ready, remove skillet from heat and layer cooked rice as a base in serving bowls.
Top the rice with the sautéed steak mixture, including the sautéed vegetables.
Drizzle with warm queso cheese sauce and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately while hot and cheesy!
