Steak Quesadillas Ingredients

• Flour Tortillas or Corn Tortillas
• Sliced steak
• Shredded mozzarella cheese or cheddar cheese
• Garlic butter sauce
• Parmesan cheese
• Steak seasoning
• Sauteed peppers and onions

Steak quesadillas are complete when paired with sauteed peppers and onions. For my sauteed peppers and onions, I use…

• Bell peppers, your choice of color
• Olive oil
• Onions
• Garlic powder
• Salt and pepper

How to Make Steak Quesadillas

1. Prepare sauteed peppers and onions by heating a skillet on the stove over medium heat. Add olive oil and allow the pan to heat. Once hot, cook peppers and onions in garlic powder for 5 minutes, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Finish by sauteing until golden brown.
   
2. Mix garlic butter sauce ingredients together: melted butter, chopped parsley (optional), and minced garlic. Spread garlic butter on one side of a tortilla and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Place this side down in a pan over medium-heat. Top with sliced cooked steak, shredded cheese, sauteed peppers and onions, and steak seasoning (use your favorite, or my steak seasoning recipe).
   
3. Cover with a second tortilla. Spread garlic butter and parmesan over this tortilla as well, then carefully flip the quesadilla in the pan.
   
4. Cook 5-8 minutes, until the cheese melts and the tortilla is golden-brown. Serve, and enjoy!

Steak Quesadilla Recipes Tips

• Try using my steak dry rub recipe or this . Both are amazing!!
• Garlic butter makes a perfect pairing for pan-frying quesadillas and the taste it adds is incredible, but if you’re short on time or ingredients, you can also use olive oil.
• I personally love sauteed peppers and onions for this dish as I feel it makes it similar to a Philly Cheesesteak Quesadilla, but if you want, you can also simply use caramelized onions. These are so tasty, too!
