2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup bell peppers (finely chopped; red or yellow)
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare your ingredients: Finely chop the onion and bell peppers, and mince the garlic.
Sear the steak: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked to your liking. Remove from skillet and let rest.

Cook the rice: Stir in long-grain rice and beef broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover tightly and cook for about 15-20 minutes until rice is fluffy.
Add cheese: Once rice is cooked, fold in shredded cheeses until melted throughout.
