Steak Quesadilla: A Culinary Journey
Let’s dive into the heart of this tantalizing dish. Here’s everything you need to know:
Ingredients for Steak Quesadillas
To create the perfect Steak Quesadillas, gather the following ingredients:
- Tortillas
- Sliced steak
- Shredded cheese
- Garlic butter sauce
- Parmesan cheese
- Steak seasoning
- Sauteed peppers and onions
For the sauteed peppers and onions, I recommend using vibrant bell peppers, your choice of color, and enhancing the flavor with a touch of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Crafting the Masterpiece
Now, let’s embark on the journey of making Steak Quesadillas. Follow these steps:
- Start by sautéing the peppers and onions in a skillet over medium heat, using a dash of olive oil and a sprinkle of garlic powder. Cook until they turn golden brown, and season with salt and pepper according to your preference.
-
Next, prepare the garlic butter sauce by combining melted butter, chopped parsley (optional), and minced garlic. Spread the sauce on one side of a tortilla, and sprinkle it with Parmesan cheese. Place this side down in a pan over medium heat.
-
Layer the cooked steak, shredded cheese, sautéed peppers and onions, and steak seasoning on top of the tortilla in the pan. Don’t forget to spread some garlic butter and Parmesan cheese on the other tortilla before placing it on top. Carefully flip the quesadilla in the pan.
- Cook the quesadilla for 5-8 minutes until the cheese melts and the tortilla turns a golden brown hue.
