1 cup white rice
2 cups water
1 pound steak, sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup queso dip
1/2 cup sliced green onions
Directions
- Begin by rinsing the white rice under cold water to remove excess starch. Measure out one cup of rice and set aside.
- Bring two cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the rice, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Season the steak with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes.
- Incorporate the cooked rice into the skillet with the steak. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
- Pour the queso dip over the steak and rice mixture, stirring constantly until heated through and cheese is melted.
- Garnish with sliced green onions before serving. Serve hot for best taste and texture.
