Steak Quesadilla Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1 pound top sirloin
thinly sliced
- 1/2 red onion
sliced
- 1 green bell pepper
sliced
- 2 teaspoons creole seasoning
or Season All
- 1 teaspoon thyme
dried
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
dried
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 24 slices provolone cheese
- 3 large flour tortillas
Directions
- 1
Take half of the creole seasoning, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, and black pepper then put into a sealable bag. Mix together.
- 2
Add the sirloin strips and mix to coat all over evenly.
- 3
Add the canola oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat.
- 4
Add the seasoned sirloin strips and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, continuously stirring using tongs.
- 5
Once browned, remove the meat from the skillet and drain any liquid.
- 6
Add the onion, bell pepper, and remaining seasoning. Cook until soft, which will take about 3 to 5 minutes.
- 7
Once done, remove from the skillet and use a paper towel to wipe out the skillet (you can use it again for this next step).
- 8
Place one of the tortillas in the pan and lay 8 slices on top evenly spaced to cover most of the tortilla.
- 9
Place over a low-medium heat and wait until you see the cheese starting to melt a little.
- 10
Take ⅓ of the meat and ⅓ of the vegetables and spread over the top of the cheese. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes, then fold the tortilla over onto itself to create a half-moon. Press down lightly to close together a little. Depending on how much the outside of the tortilla is cooked, you can cook a little longer - flipping to get the other side. It only needs to warm everything through evenly.
- 11
Remove from the heat and cut in half.
- 12
Serve immediately with some of your preferred salsa, sour cream, chopped tomatoes, and lettuce.

About this Recipe
Craving a satisfying meal that comes together quickly? This Steak Quesadilla recipe delivers big, savory flavors with tender steak and melted provolone, perfect for any night of the week.
The secret to this recipe's success lies in the thoughtful blend of seasonings. Two teaspoons of creole seasoning, coupled with thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, and black pepper, infuse the thinly sliced top sirloin and fresh vegetables with incredible depth. This creates a robust and comforting experience, all held together by warm, gooey provolone cheese.
When you bite into these quesadillas, you'll discover a delightful combination of textures and tastes. Expect juicy, well-seasoned steak alongside crisp-tender slices of red onion and green bell pepper. Each bite is enveloped in rich, buttery provolone cheese that's perfectly melted within a golden flour tortilla. This dish is designed to be a hearty yet straightforward meal that satisfies your cravings for classic comfort food.
Feel free to customize this recipe to your preferences. While provolone cheese offers a distinct flavor, you could experiment with other melty cheeses like Monterey Jack or cheddar for a different profile. You can also adjust the amount of creole seasoning to suit your spice tolerance, or swap the green bell pepper for a red or yellow one for a touch of extra sweetness. For a different type of steak, thinly sliced flank or skirt steak can also work well.
These steak quesadillas are ideal for a casual weeknight dinner, a quick weekend lunch, or even cut into smaller wedges for a flavorful appetizer. Serve them simply on their own, or alongside your favorite fresh salsa or sour cream.
