# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 teaspoon paprika if you'd like (totally optional)
02 - 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
03 - A big handful each of shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese
04 - Two cups of brown or white rice, already cooked
05 - Some salt and pepper, as much as you want
06 - 1 medium yellow onion, chopped up
07 - 1 bell pepper (go red or yellow), dice it up
08 - 450 grams ribeye or sirloin steak

→ For Serving

09 - 120 ml sour cream
10 - A couple of sliced green onions

# Steps:

01 - Ladle everything onto your plates while it's steamy, then top with a good scoop of sour cream and those green onions.
02 - Cut up your rested steak into little chunks. Toss it in the pan. Sprinkle in the shredded cheese, give it all a gentle stir, and keep at it till the cheese melts and everything’s nice and hot.
03 - Go ahead and add the cooked rice to the pan full of veggies. If you're using paprika, shake it in now. Give it all a good mix so every bite gets something.
04 - Drop your onions and bell peppers into that same pan. Keep the heat on medium. Cook, stirring once in a while, until they're soft—takes about 3–4 minutes. Garlic goes in last for a minute just till you can smell it.
05 - Get your skillet good and hot over medium-high. Pat the steak nice and dry. Hit both sides with salt and pepper. Sear each side for about 4–5 minutes til it looks deep golden and forms a crust. Pull it out and let it rest for now.

# Notes:

01 - Letting your steak chill out for a bit after searing keeps it juicy and stops it drying out when you toss it back in the pan.
02 - If you want a spicy kick, toss in a dash of chili flakes or swap in some hot paprika.
