  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 medium sweet onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup bell peppers (finely chopped; red or yellow)

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp paprika

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Finely chop the onion and bell peppers, and mince the garlic.
  2. 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.
  3. Sauté vegetables: In the same skillet, add onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
  4. 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.
  5. Add cheese: Once rice is cooked, fold in shredded cheeses until melted throughout.
  6. Slice and serve: Slice rested steak against the grain into strips and serve over cheesy rice, drizzling any remaining pan juices on top.
