Instructions
1
|
Apply steak seasoning to both sides of the steak.
2
|
Cook the steak in a greased air fryer basket at a temperature of 350℉ or on a Blackstone griddle for 6-8 minutes to achieve medium rare, or 8-10 minutes for well done.
3
|
After cooking the steak to your desired level, let it rest for 5 minutes to ensure that the juices are retained.
4
|
Afterwards, slice the steak into small, bite sized pieces.
5
|
Spread an even layer of butter over the entire flour tortilla to allow the steak seasoning to adhere and give it a pleasing golden brown hue when cooked.
6
|
Sprinkle the steak seasoning over the butter and place the tortilla, butter side down, on the Blackstone, skillet, or griddle.
7
|
Sprinkle one cup of Mexican cheese blend on the tortilla side without the butter and steak seasoning, covering the entire quesadilla.
8
|
Place mushrooms, onions, and steak on top of the cheese, covering only one half of the quesadilla.
9
|
Flip the cheese-only side of the tortilla over to fold it in half. Allow the cheese to melt for a minute or two.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Slice Against the Grain 🔪Cut your sirloin steak against the grain into thin strips before cooking to maximize tenderness and ensure each bite is perfectly chewy in your quesadilla.
- Caramelize Your Vegetables First 🧅Cook onions and mushrooms separately until golden and deeply caramelized before adding steak, allowing their natural sugars to develop for richer flavor and moisture control.
- Butter Your Tortillas Strategically 🧈Brush melted butter on the outside of tortillas only (not inside) before pan-searing for a perfectly crispy, golden exterior while keeping the cheese creamy inside.
- Let Steak Rest Before Assembly ⏱️Rest the cooked steak for 3-4 minutes before slicing and adding to quesadillas to lock in juices, preventing a soggy tortilla and ensuring juicy, tender bites.
- Use Medium Heat for Even Melting 🔥Cook quesadillas on medium rather than high heat to allow cheese to fully melt and ingredients to warm through before the tortilla burns or becomes overly crispy.
