No reviews

This Philly Cheesesteak Quesadilla merges the bold, savory flavors of a traditional cheesesteak with the crisp, melty deliciousness of a quesadilla. It’s an easy, satisfying meal loaded with tender steak, caramelized peppers and onions, and gooey cheese, all wrapped in a golden tortilla.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 large quesadillas (serves 2–3)

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb thinly sliced ribeye or flank steak
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 4 slices provolone cheese (or 1 cup shredded mozzarella or white American cheese)
  • 2 large flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil or butter.
  2. Sauté the sliced bell pepper and onion until soft and slightly caramelized, then transfer to a plate.
  3. In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced steak. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until browned and cooked through.
  4. Return the peppers and onions to the skillet and mix with the cooked steak. Remove from heat.
  5. In a clean skillet over medium heat, place a tortilla. Layer cheese on half, then spoon over steak mixture, followed by more cheese. Fold over to form a half-moon.
  6. Cook each side for 2–3 minutes until golden and the cheese is melted. Repeat with the second tortilla.
  7. Let rest for a minute, then slice into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use ribeye for the most tender texture and authentic flavor.
  • Add mushrooms or jalapeños for extra depth.
  • Spread cream cheese or cheese sauce inside for a creamier version.
  • Use pre-cooked or leftover steak for a quick shortcut.
  • Reheat in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
