Steak & Cheese Quesadillas recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) flank steak or sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 small bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • Butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Cook the Steak:
    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak, season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sear for 3–4 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  2. Sauté Veggies (Optional):
    In the same skillet, add onions and bell peppers. Cook for 3–5 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
  3. Assemble Quesadillas:
    Lay out tortillas. On half of each tortilla, layer shredded cheese, steak, sautéed veggies, and a little more cheese. Fold the other half of the tortilla over.
  4. Cook Quesadillas:
    Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil. Cook quesadillas 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
  5. Serve:
    Slice into wedges and serve hot with salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
