Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Seasonings

  • 1 pound flank steak, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Rice and Vegetables

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Cook the Steak: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced flank steak and season with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the steak is nicely browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. Toast the Rice: In the same skillet, add 1 cup of long-grain white rice. Toast the rice for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking and to enhance flavor.
  3. Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in 2 cups of beef broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Incorporate Vegetables and Steak: After 15 minutes, stir in 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables and the cooked steak strips. Cover again and cook for an additional 5 minutes until vegetables are heated through and the rice is tender.
  5. Add Cheese: Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top. Cover the skillet again for a few minutes to let the cheese melt thoroughly.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the finished dish with 2 sliced green onions before serving for a fresh, mild onion flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh vegetables instead of frozen if preferred; adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Flank steak can be substituted with sirloin or skirt steak for similar results.
  • For extra spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when seasoning the steak.
  • Ensure the rice is low sodium or rinse it before cooking to reduce sodium content if desired.
  • This recipe can be doubled to serve more people using a larger skillet or pan.
