Instructions

1
In a large skillet over medium heat, add oil and toast the rice until lightly browned.
2
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3
Stir in the tomato sauce, seasonings (cumin, oregano, salt, pepper), and chicken broth.
4
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 18 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
5
While the rice is cooking, heat a separate skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat. Add the thinly sliced steak and season generously with Montreal steak seasoning.
6
Cook the steak, stirring occasionally, until it's browned and crispy.
7
Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a spoon or fork.
8
Top the cooked rice with the crispy steak.
9
Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro and drizzle with as much queso as you like.
10
Serve immediately in the skillet, or assemble into tacos with flour tortillas, pico de gallo, and extra queso.
