Equipment

  • large skillet
  • medium skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 cup white rice
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 8 ounces tomato sauce
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 pound sirloin steak sliced to your liking
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 16 ounces Gordo’s queso cheese dip original flavor
  • Chopped parsley for topping optional

Instructions

  • In a large skillet add 1 cup of rice and 3 tbsp of oil. Cook over a medium heat, stirring occasionally until the rice gets slightly brown. Once lightly brown and toasty add the onions and garlic and stir around on a medium to low heat for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the chicken broth and tomato sauce and stir until combined, bring to a boil and let boil for 2 minutes while stirring occasionally. Place the lid on and turn the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes. While the rice is cooking begin cooking the steak.
  • Add the butter to another large skillet along with the cut up steak and seasonings at a medium to high heat, stir to combine the seasonings and butter. Once the steak is cooked to your liking remove from the skillet.
  • When the 20 minutes for the rice is done cooking, turn the heat off and let sit for another 10 minutes. Do not uncover for those 10 minutes.
  • Once done fluff the rice and add it to a plate, add the steak on top, drizzle the warm queso on top and top with chopped parsley or cilantro if you’d like. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days
  • Using frozen onions made this so much easier.
  • You can get the spicy Gordos queso cheese dip if you want spice!
  • Use any brand queso dip that you’d like.
  • Top with cilantro if you’d like! I think sautéed bell peppers would be amazing in this.
  • Add this to tortillas if you’d like!
