Smoky Garlic Butter Steak with Cheddar Rice

A rich and savory dish that perfectly combines succulent steak with creamy, cheesy rice, infused with garlic butter and topped with cheddar.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs Steak (Your choice of cut: ribeye, sirloin, or filet mignon)
  • 4 tablespoons Butter (Unsalted butter preferred)
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced (Fresh garlic for the best flavor)
  • Salt to taste (Adjust according to preference)
  • Pepper to taste (Freshly cracked black pepper recommended)
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded (Sharp cheddar for maximum flavor)
  • 2 cups Rice, cooked (White or brown rice works well)
  • Cream (Optional, for added creaminess)
  • Vegetables (Optional, for serving, your choice of side)

Instructions

  1. Season the steak with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add minced garlic to the pan and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Carefully place the seasoned steak in the skillet and sear to your desired doneness, usually 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  5. Remove the steak from the skillet and let it rest for about 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
  6. Add the cooked rice to the same skillet, stirring to combine with the residual garlic butter.
  7. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese into the rice until fully melted and creamy. If using, add cream for extra richness.
  8. Plate the cheesy rice and top it with the sliced steak. Serve with your choice of vegetables if desired.

Notes

For the best flavor, let your steak rest after cooking. Experiment with different cheese types for variety.
