Preparation Steps
- Begin by dicing the onion and bell pepper into small pieces, and mincing the garlic to release its aromatic goodness.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the sirloin steak, searing it for 4-5 minutes without moving it.
- Flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until it reaches your preferred doneness. Let the steak rest for a few minutes, then slice it into bite-sized pieces.
- In the same skillet, toss in the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté them over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in your cooked rice along with the minced garlic, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to distribute the spices evenly for about 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the queso cheese to the skillet, stirring constantly for 3-5 minutes until melted.
- Finally, add the sliced steak back to the skillet, mixing gently to coat the meat with the cheesy rice. Cook for an additional minute.

Notes
Let the steak rest after cooking for juiciness. Use day-old rice to avoid mushiness. Adjust chili powder for spice preference. Add cheese gradually over low heat for creamy consistency. Don't overcrowd the pan.
