How to Make Blackstone Steak Quesadillas

Ingredients

• 1 lb sirloin steak (thinly sliced against the grain)
• 1 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)
• 1 green bell pepper (thinly sliced)
• 1 yellow onion (thinly sliced)
• 2 tbsp taco seasoning
• 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size)
• 3 cups shredded cheese blend (Monterey Jack and Cheddar)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4 tbsp butter (divided)

Directions

1. Slice the sirloin steak thinly against the grain. Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.
2. Preheat your Blackstone griddle over medium-high heat.
3. Add olive oil to the griddle. Place the sliced steak on one side and the veggies on the other. Season the steak with taco seasoning. Cook the steak for 2-3 minutes per side until seared. Sauté the veggies until soft. Combine and remove from the griddle.
4. Reduce the griddle heat to medium. Melt 1 tbsp of butter. Place a tortilla on the butter. Cover one half of the tortilla with cheese, top with the steak and veggie mixture, and add more cheese.
5. Fold the tortilla in half. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the cheese is fully melted.
6. Repeat the process for the remaining quesadillas. Slice into wedges and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.

How to Serve Blackstone Steak Quesadillas

Serve your steak quesadillas while they are hot and crispy. They pair well with sides such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or even a fresh salad. Feel free to add extra toppings like jalapeños, cilantro, or lime wedges to enhance the flavor.

How to Store Blackstone Steak Quesadillas

If you have leftovers, allow them to cool completely before storing. Place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the quesadillas individually wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 2 months.

Tips to Make Blackstone Steak Quesadillas

• Make sure to slice the steak against the grain for a more tender bite.
• Feel free to mix and match the vegetables based on your preferences. Zucchini, mushrooms, or corn are great additions.
• Keep an eye on the heat of the griddle; too high can burn the tortillas before the cheese melts.

Variation

For a vegetarian version, replace the steak with black beans or grilled mushrooms. You can also use different types of cheese or add more vegetables like spinach or corn.
