Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Marinate flank steak for 15 minutes to 1 hour.
  2. Whisk together barbecue sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and chili powder to create the honey BBQ sauce.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. Sear the marinated steak for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove from pan.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, add butter, onion, and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until onion is soft and translucent.
  5. Add uncooked rice to the skillet, stirring to coat the grains. Toast the rice for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Pour in beef broth, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until rice is tender.
  7. Stir in heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese until melted and creamy, adding salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Return the seared steak to the skillet with juices and pour the honey BBQ sauce over. Stir and simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
