Ingredients
Scale
For the Quesadillas
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 lb flank or sirloin steak, thinly sliced
- 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese blend
- 1 cup bell peppers, thinly sliced
- 1 cup sweet onions, sliced
For Seasoning and Cooking
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Preheat your Blackstone grill over medium-high heat to ensure optimal searing temperature for steak and vegetables.
- Season Steak: In a bowl, season the thinly sliced flank or sirloin steak evenly with salt, pepper, ground cumin, and paprika for a balanced and aromatic flavor.
- Sear Steak: Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the grilled surface and place the seasoned steak slices on it. Sear the steak for about 3-4 minutes until nicely browned and cooked through.
- Sauté Vegetables: On a clean section of the grill, sauté the thinly sliced bell peppers and onions for about 5 minutes until they become tender and slightly caramelized.
- Assemble Quesadillas: Place one flour tortilla directly on the grill. Spread half of the cheese blend over half of the tortilla, then layer with the cooked steak and sautéed vegetables. Fold the tortilla over, covering the fillings, and gently press down to compact the quesadilla.
- Grill Quesadillas: Cook the quesadilla for about 3-4 minutes on each side, flipping carefully, until the tortilla is crispy and golden brown, and the cheese has melted fully.
- Serve: Remove from the grill and cut into wedges. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
Notes
- Use flank or sirloin steak for best tenderness and flavor.
- Adjust seasoning according to your taste preferences.
- Ensure the grill is hot before starting to get a nice sear.
- Pressing the quesadilla helps the cheese melt and keeps the filling intact.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
