Arroz Con Carne Asada - Mexican Rice and Steak with Cheese
Arroz Con Carne Asada is the beef steak version of the popular arroz con pollo recipe that is quickly made at home with Mexican rice, steak, and queso cheese.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds steaks
- 2 teaspoons taco seasoning
- 2 packages Old Elpaso Cheesy Mexican Rice
- 4 Tablespoons Butter divided
- 5 cups water
- 1 cup queso cheese dip
- Salt and Pepper
Instructions
- Heat the grill to medium-high heat or 400℉. Set the steaks out 30 minutes before you plan on grilling them.
- Season the steaks with just salt and pepper.
- Place a sauce pan over a medium high heat. Add two tablespoons of butter and melt it. Then pour in the rice from two boxes of Mexican cheesy rice. Brown for 2-3 minutes.
- Pour 5 cups of water over the rice. Stir in the flavor packets. When it comes to a boil, turn to low heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir throughout the cooking process.
- Grill the steak to the temperature of your liking. For medium steak cook for about 5-7 minutes and turn over and finish cooking another 5 minutes over a 350-400℉ grill.
- Prepare a cutting board by laying thinly sliced butter over it and sprinkling taco seasoning on the butter. When you pull the steaks off the grill, lay on the butter and taco seasoning. Let rest for five minutes.
- Slice the steak after five minutes and toss in the butter and taco seasoning.
- Serve by spooning the rice in a bowl or on a plate. Then top with steak pieces, and drizzle with the queso cheese.
