  • Salt and Pepper, to taste

  • 2 tbsp (8g) Toasted Cumin Seeds
  • 2 tbsp (8g) Chopped Cilantro
  • 0.25 cup (≈10g) Cilantro Oil (Cilantro & Olive Oil Blend)

Instructions

  1. Make Cilantro Oil: Blend cilantro and olive oil, then strain.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Sauté garlic and onion in butter until softened.
  3. Brown Beef: Brown beef with cumin, salt, and pepper.
  4. Toast Rice: Toast rice in skillet with buttery aromatics.
  5. Simmer Rice: Add broth, bring to boil, then simmer covered for 12-15 minutes.
  6. Make Cheese Sauce: Melt cheddar and parmesan in milk.

Notes

For a vibrant swirl, use the back of a spoon to create a ribbon of sauce across the skillet. Thinly slicing the beef against the grain ensures tenderness.
