Description
A hearty and flavorful one-pan meal featuring tender steak, melty cheese, and perfectly cooked rice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb steak, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: chopped parsley, hot sauce, sliced green onions
Instructions
- Warm a large skillet over medium heat and pour in the olive oil.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until soft and translucent (about 3–4 minutes).
- Increase heat to medium-high. Place the steak pieces in the skillet in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Allow them to sear undisturbed for 1–2 minutes, then stir to brown all sides (about 4–6 minutes total).
- Pour in the beef broth and deglaze the pan. Scrape up any browned bits to incorporate that delicious flavor. Let simmer for 1–2 minutes.
- Add the cooked rice to the skillet, stirring until everything is evenly combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the mixture, then cover the skillet. Allow it to sit off the heat for 2–3 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Uncover the skillet, stir to combine the melted cheese throughout, and serve hot. Garnish with optional parsley, hot sauce, or sliced green onions.
