Season the steak tips

• In a bowl, combine the steak tips with the adobo, salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes.
• Toss to coat and let sit about 30 minutes before cooking.

Sear the steak

• Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
• Add the steak tips and cook 3 to 5 minutes per side until browned.

Toast the rice with garlic

• Add the chopped garlic and rice to the pan.
• Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until the rice is toasty, stirring constantly so it doesn't burn.

Add butter, lime and stock

• Stir in the butter, lime juice and chicken stock.
• Bring the pan to a boil.

Simmer covered

• Lower the heat to a simmer and cover with a lid.
• Cook 15 to 20 minutes until the rice is done and fluffy.
