Creating Steak Queso Rice is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the Steak: Slice the flank steak into thin strips against the grain for tenderness.
2. Cook the Steak: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steak to the skillet.
3. Season the Meat: Sprinkle chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper over the steak. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the steak is browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
4. Add Vegetables: Stir in diced bell peppers and onions. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the veggies are soft.
5. Incorporate Rice: Add cooked rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine and heat through for about 2 minutes.
6. Melt the Queso: Pour the queso cheese over the steak and rice mixture. Stir until the cheese is melted and everything is evenly coated in the cheesy goodness.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat. Top with fresh cilantro for a vibrant finish and flavor enhancement.
8. Serve Immediately: Serve Steak Queso Rice hot with lime wedges on the side for a splash of acidity.

By following these easy steps, you’ll prepare a delicious and hearty meal that everyone will love!
