Instructions

Apply steak seasoning to both sides of the steak.

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.

After cooking the steak to your desired level, let it rest for 5 minutes to ensure that the juices are retained.

Afterwards, slice the steak into small, bite sized pieces.

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.

Sprinkle the steak seasoning over the butter and place the tortilla, butter side down, on the Blackstone, skillet, or griddle.

Sprinkle one cup of Mexican cheese blend on the tortilla side without the butter and steak seasoning, covering the entire quesadilla.

Place mushrooms, onions, and steak on top of the cheese, covering only one half of the quesadilla.

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 even, quick cooking that stays juicy inside the quesadilla.
Dry Your Steak First 💧
Pat the steak completely dry with paper towels before seasoning and cooking to achieve a superior golden crust and better browning through the Maillard reaction.
Butter-Baste for Extra Flavor 🧈
While cooking the steak, tilt the pan and baste it with melted butter mixed with your steak seasoning to create deeper flavor and a restaurant-quality crust.
Caramelize Onions and Mushrooms 🧅
Cook your onions and mushrooms separately on high heat until golden brown before combining with steak; this concentrates their natural sugars and prevents them from steaming the filling.
Press with Even Weight 🫓
Use a cast iron skillet or heavy pan weighted with another skillet on top to press the quesadilla while cooking, ensuring even browning and perfect cheese melting throughout.
