Notes
I used sirloin steak, but other options work great such as ribeye. Cut into roughly ¾-1-inch size pieces for best cooking. Cooked ground beef or diced, cooked chicken would also work well.Basmati and Jasmine are the best types of rice for this recipe. Avoid instant or quick-cooking rice that can turn mushy in this dish. Brown rice can work but will take longer to cook. Adjust cooking time as needed. If you don’t have Gruyere, feel free to swap it for Swiss or even mozzarella.
