Description
This Philly Cheesesteak Quesadilla combines the bold, savory flavors of a classic Philly cheesesteak with the crispy, cheesy goodness of a quesadilla. Tender steak, sautéed onions and peppers, and melted provolone or mozzarella are tucked between golden tortillas for an easy and delicious meal.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 lb (225g) thinly sliced ribeye steak or sirloin
- 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups shredded provolone, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 tbsp butter, for cooking
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add sliced onions and peppers. Cook for 5–7 minutes until softened and lightly caramelized. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Add steak to the same skillet and season with garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring until browned and tender.
- Return the cooked onions and peppers to the skillet and toss everything together. Remove from heat.
- Place one tortilla in a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Sprinkle with some cheese, then add a portion of the steak and pepper mixture. Top with more cheese and another tortilla.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the tortilla is golden and the cheese is melted.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients to make additional quesadillas.
- Cut into wedges and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce (cheese sauce, ranch, or chipotle mayo).
Notes
- For extra flavor, spread a thin layer of mayo or cheese whiz inside the quesadilla before cooking.
- Use shaved deli roast beef for a quick version.
- Can be made ahead and reheated in an air fryer or skillet for crispiness.
- Serve with fries or a simple salad for a full meal.
