🔥 Get Started: Season the steak cubes with smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Make sure every piece is nicely coated!

🥩 Sear the Steak: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak cubes in a single layer (you might need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding) and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside. (Don't worry about cooking it all the way through just yet!)

🍚 Cook the Rice: Add the rice, chicken broth, butter, and salt to the same skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.

🥄 Make the Honey BBQ Sauce: While the rice is cooking, in a small bowl, whisk together the BBQ sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Set aside.

🥘 Combine and Simmer: Once the rice is cooked, gently stir in the seared steak and the honey BBQ sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and the steak to finish cooking to your desired doneness.

🧈 Creamy Finish: Stir in the heavy cream and butter. Cook for another minute or two, until the sauce is creamy and heated through.

🌿 Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy every last bite!
