Ingredients:

• 8 oz (225g) steak (ribeye, sirloin, or flank), thinly sliced

• 1 small onion, thinly sliced (optional)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• 4 large flour tortillas

• 1 ½ cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Steak & Veggies:

   • Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.

   • Add sliced steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook 2–3 minutes per side until browned but still tender. Remove steak and set aside.

2. Assemble Quesadillas:

   • Heat a clean skillet over medium heat.

   • Place one tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle half of the cheese evenly over it.

   • Add cooked steak and veggies evenly over the cheese.

   • Sprinkle remaining cheese on top and cover with second tortilla.

3. Cook Quesadilla:

   • Cook for 3–4 minutes until the bottom tortilla is golden and cheese starts to melt.

   • Carefully flip and cook the other side for another 3–4 minutes until golden and cheese is fully melted.

4. Serve:

   • Remove from skillet, let cool for a minute, then cut into wedges.

   • Serve with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or your favorite sides.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, season steak with a little chili powder or smoked paprika before cooking.

• Use a panini press or grill for easy cooking and perfect grill marks.

• Swap steak for chicken or shrimp if you like.
