Ingredients

Units Scale
  • For the Steak:
  • 1/2 lb ribeye steak (or sirloin), thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • For the Veggies:
  • 1/2 green bell pepper, sliced thin
  • 1/2 small onion, sliced thin
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • For the Quesadilla:
  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (Provolone, Mozzarella, or Cheddar)
  • 1 tbsp butter (for crisping)

Instructions

  • Cook the Steak:
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add sliced steak, season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring until browned. Remove and set aside.
  • Sauté the Veggies:
  • In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
  • Add sliced bell peppers and onions, cooking until soft and caramelized (4–5 minutes).
  • Assemble the Quesadilla:
  • Heat a clean skillet over medium heat.
  • Spread butter on one side of a flour tortilla, then place it butter-side down in the skillet.
  • Sprinkle half the cheese, then layer steak, peppers, and onions.
  • Top with the remaining cheese and another tortilla.
  • Cook & Flip:
  • Cook for 2–3 minutes until golden and crisp, then carefully flip.
  • Cook another 2 minutes until cheese is melted.
  • Serve & Enjoy:
  • Slice into wedges and serve with garlic aioli, sour cream, or chipotle sauce.

Notes

  • Swap ribeye for chicken for a Philly chicken quesadilla.
  • Use queso blanco or American cheese for a more authentic Philly cheesesteak flavor.
  • Add mushrooms for extra flavor.
  • Make it spicy with jalapeños or hot sauce.
