Ingredients

Scale

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

1. Cook the Steak

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.

2. Sauté the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened and caramelized. Remove from heat.

3. Assemble the Quesadilla

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.

4. Cook the Quesadilla

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.

5. Slice & Serve

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.
