Steak Quesadillas

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Add about 1 tbs of butter or oil to the cast iron pan over medium-high heat and sear the steak on both sides for about 3 minutes to develop some color on both sides.
  2. Remove the steak from the pan, and let it rest covered in foil or with another plate while you cook the veggies.
  3. Dice the pepper and onion.
  4. Add a little butter or oil to the cast iron pan over medium heat and saute the veggies with a pinch of salt and pepper until they soften and develop a little browning on the edges. This should take about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Once the veggies are just about done, cut the steak into bite-sized pieces, and add it to the peppers in the pan. Cook everything together for a few minutes. Remove the peppers and steak from the pan and set aside.
  6. To assemble, place half of your flour tortilla onto the pan and sprinkle that half with cheese.
  7. Layer on some of the pepper and steak mix, and a little more cheese to bind everything together.
  8. Fold over the other half of the tortilla. Cook over medium-low heat for a few minutes on each side to melt the cheese and develop a slight golden brown on the tortilla.
  9. Remove from the pan, slice into wedges, and serve with sour cream.
