Start by dicing one medium onion and a vibrant bell pepper, then mincing two cloves of garlic. Place these ingredients in separate bowls.

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the sirloin steak with salt and pepper, then sear in the skillet for 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes.

In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Stir in the pre-cooked long-grain white rice, adding paprika, cumin, chili powder, and salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Sprinkle in the queso cheese, stirring continuously until it melts and combines with the rice.

Slice the rested steak into strips, return to the skillet, and toss with the queso rice mixture. Heat together for 1-2 minutes.

Plate the Mouthwatering Steak & Queso Rice hot, garnishing with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and avocado slices.
