Description

A delicious twist on the classic Philly Cheesesteak, this quesadilla combines tender ribeye steak, sautéed vegetables, and melty provolone cheese for a flavorful meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ribeye steak, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper (green, red, or a mix), thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded provolone cheese (or Cheez Whiz for a classic touch)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced ribeye steak to the skillet and season it with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook the steak for about 3-4 minutes until it’s nicely browned. Once cooked, remove the steak from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.
  2. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Sauté these veggies for about 5 minutes or until they become softened and slightly caramelized. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute to release that delicious garlic aroma.
  3. Now, return the cooked steak to the skillet and mix it well with the sautéed onion and bell pepper. Let everything cook together for an additional couple of minutes to blend those amazing flavors. Once done, remove from heat.
  4. Preheat a separate non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of it with a generous amount of shredded provolone cheese. On top of the cheese, add a portion of the steak and vegetable mixture, then sprinkle more cheese over the top before folding the tortilla in half.
  5. Cook the quesadilla for about 2-3 minutes on one side until it turns golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip it over and continue cooking until the other side is golden and the cheese is melted, usually another 2-3 minutes.
  6. Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and set it aside. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling, creating delicious, cheesy quesadillas.
  7. Cut each quesadilla into wedges and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as salsa or ranch dressing. Enjoy your tasty Philly Cheesesteak Quesadillas!
