Ingredients
For the Philly Cheesesteak Filling:
-
- 1 lb ribeye steak (or sirloin), thinly sliced
-
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
-
- 1 teaspoon salt
-
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
-
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
-
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
-
- 1 bell pepper (green or red), thinly sliced
-
- ½ cup mushrooms, sliced (optional)
For the Quesadilla:
-
- 4 large flour tortillas
-
- 1 ½ cups shredded provolone cheese (or mozzarella)
-
- 1 tablespoon butter (for crispy tortillas)
Optional Toppings & Dips:
-
- Sour cream
-
- Guacamole
-
- Salsa
-
- Pickled jalapeños
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Sear the steak for 2-3 minutes per side, then remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened and caramelized. Remove from heat.
Lay a tortilla flat and sprinkle ½ cup shredded cheese on one half. Add a layer of steak and sautéed veggies. Sprinkle another ¼ cup of cheese on top, then fold the tortilla in half.
Melt ½ tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.
Cut each quesadilla into wedges and serve hot with sour cream, guacamole, or salsa on the side.
Notes
-
- Use thinly sliced steak – This ensures quick, even cooking.
-
- Shred your own cheese – Pre-shredded cheese has anti-caking agents that affect melting.
-
- Cook low and slow – Avoid burning the tortilla by keeping the heat at medium.
