Step-by-Step Instructions for Steak & Queso Rice
- Rinse basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside to drain.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onion, sauté for 2–3 minutes.
- Add rinsed basmati rice to the skillet and toast for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Pour in crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, followed by chicken bouillon, paprika, and cumin. Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18–20 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
- Season sirloin steak with Montreal steak seasoning. In another skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat and sear steak for 4–5 minutes each side.
- Let cooked steak rest for a few minutes before slicing. Fluff cooked rice and layer with sliced steak and melted white queso.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with warm flour tortillas.
