# Instructions:
01 -
In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add sliced flank steak and toss until fully coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to an hour in the refrigerator.
02 -
Whisk together barbecue sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and chili powder (if using). Set aside.
03 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear marinated steak in a single layer for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside, covering loosely with foil.
04 -
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter, onions, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until onions are soft and translucent.
05 -
Add uncooked rice to the skillet and stir to coat. Toast for 1-2 minutes until slightly golden. Pour in beef broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-18 minutes until rice is tender and liquid absorbed.
06 -
Stir in heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese until melted and combined. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
07 -
Return seared steak and any juices to the skillet. Pour honey BBQ sauce over the steak. Stir and simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken sauce.
08 -
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish for garnish. Serve hot straight from the skillet.
# Notes:
01 -
Marinating the steak enhances flavor and tenderizes the meat, making every bite juicy and flavorful.
02 -
Toasting rice before cooking brings out a nutty flavor and prevents it from overcooking.
03 -
Use freshly grated cheddar cheese for the best texture in the creamy sauce.
