Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 burrito-sized tortilla
- 1/2 cup peppers, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup onions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 4 oz steak (sirloin, skirt, or flank recommended)
- 1 slice provolone cheese, sliced into thin strips
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in a cast iron skillet or large pan. Add sliced peppers and onions, then sauté for 5-7 minutes until soft. Season with salt and black pepper.
- If using frozen steak, cook according to package directions. If using fresh steak, cut into thin strips and cook over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Season to taste.
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and Dijon mustard. Spread evenly over the tortilla.
- On one half of the tortilla, layer the sautéed onions and peppers. On the other half, place the steak and provolone cheese.
- Fold the tortilla in half, then return it to the pan. Cook each side until golden brown.
- Remove from the pan and place on a cutting board. Slice into four triangles and serve warm.
Notes
- Swap provolone for mozzarella or cheddar for a different flavor.
- Add mushrooms or jalapeños for extra flavor.
- Use a panini press for an even crispier quesadilla.
