A delightful fusion of savory steak and aromatic rice, Steak Loco Rice promises a symphony of flavors in every bite. This Latin American-inspired dish combines tender steak, fragrant rice, and a medley of spices to create a satisfying and comforting meal.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 2 cups white rice
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak and cook until browned on all sides. Remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté the onion, garlic, and bell pepper until softened. Add the diced tomatoes, beef broth, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

- Once the rice is cooked, return the cooked steak to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro or sliced avocado, if desired.
