Steak and Queso with Rice

A perfectly grilled steak drizzled with creamy, spicy queso, served alongside fluffy white rice—this dish is the ultimate indulgence for steak lovers. The juicy beef, seared to perfection, balances beautifully with the rich, cheesy sauce, while the rice soaks up all that savory goodness. Each bite is a combination of tender meat, melted cheese, and subtle herbs that bring the whole plate together.
