½ cup (50g) cheddar cheese, shredded

# Instructions:
01 -
Mix the soy sauce, Worcestershire, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a dish. Add the steak and toss until it's covered. Let it sit in the fridge for at least 15 minutes or up to an hour.
02 -
In a small bowl, combine barbecue sauce, honey, mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and chili powder if you'd like a kick of spice. Keep it aside.
03 -
Warm up olive oil in a big frying pan over medium-high heat. Sear the steak on each side for around 2-3 minutes, or until browned to your liking. Set aside, keeping it warm.
04 -
Adjust heat to medium, then toss butter, onion, and garlic into the pan. Stir together, scraping the bits off the pan. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the onions are soft and the garlic gives off a great smell.
05 -
Add the raw rice to the skillet and stir to coat it in that buttery goodness. Let it toast for about a minute or two, then pour in the beef broth. Once it begins to boil, cover and let it simmer gently for 15-18 minutes until the rice turns tender.
06 -
When the rice is done, stir in the heavy cream and cheddar. Mix until the cheese melts completely. Season with a dash of salt and pepper, adding another bit of butter if you want it richer.
07 -
Put the seared beef and any juices back into the skillet. Pour the BBQ sauce mix on top. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes so the flavors meld and the sauce thickens a little.
08 -
Take the skillet off the heat, sprinkle some fresh parsley on top, and serve it all up hot.
# Notes:
01 -
Leave the steak in the marinade longer for even more flavor.
