In a mixing bowl, whisk together lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, and olive oil until well combined. Add the steak strips, ensuring they are fully coated in the marinade. Let the steak marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot, then add the marinated steak strips in a single layer. Sear the steak for about 4 to 6 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through.

In a separate saucepan, pour in your queso cheese sauce and heat it over low heat. Stir continuously for about 5 minutes until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Serve a generous scoop of cooked white rice in bowls, layer the sautéed steak strips on top, and then drench everything with the warm queso sauce.

Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over each bowl of Steak and Queso Rice and serve immediately.
