A comforting and delicious dish featuring seared flank steak drizzled with smoky garlic butter served over creamy cheddar rice.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb flank steak
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Create Your Smoky Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of butter, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful garlic butter mixture. Set it aside for the magic to come.
  2. Sear the Steak: Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. While it’s heating up, season the flank steak generously with salt and pepper on both sides. Once the skillet is hot, sear the steak for about 4-5 minutes per side to achieve that perfect medium-rare. The sizzle is music to your ears! Remove the steak from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This resting time is vital for juicy meat.
  3. Toast the Rice: In the same sizzling skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the rice and toast it for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. This step enhances the flavor of the rice and gets it ready for the broth.
  4. Bring on the Broth: Carefully add the beef broth to the toasted rice, bringing it to a boil. It’s time to reduce the heat and cover the skillet. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, so the rice can absorb all that flavorful goodness until it’s tender.
  5. Make It Cheesy: Once the rice is perfectly cooked, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese. Watch as it melts into the rice, creating a creamy texture that complements the savory steak beautifully.
  6. Slice and Serve: Slice the steak against the grain into thin pieces for the best texture. Serve it over the cheesy cheddar rice and drizzle generously with your smoky garlic butter. Garnish with sliced green onions for a fresh crunch and a pop of color.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Rinse rice before cooking for fluffier texture. Smoky garlic butter can be prepared in advance and stored for a week.
