How to make Steak Cheese Quesadillas Blackstone

Ingredients

• 1 pound skirt steak, diced into 1-inch pieces
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1½ cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• 4 burrito-size flour tortillas

Directions

1. Preheat your Blackstone grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F. Spread that vegetable oil evenly across the cooking surface to create a non-stick base for cooking your steak and quesadillas.
2. Place your diced steak and onions on the grill in an even layer. Season generously with onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 4-8 minutes per side, until the steak is beautifully browned and cooked through with crispy edges.
3. Push the cooked steak and onion mixture to one side of the grill and reduce the temperature to medium heat. This gives you the perfect setup for assembling and cooking your quesadillas.
4. Place the tortillas on the cleared area of the grill. Layer each tortilla with both mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheeses, then add the cooked steak and onion mixture, finishing with more cheese on top for that perfect melting effect!
5. Carefully fold each tortilla in half to create the classic half-moon quesadilla shape. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom turns golden brown.
6. Carefully flip each quesadilla using a large spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the other side is golden brown. Keep a close eye on them as they can brown quickly!
7. Remove the quesadillas to a cutting board and slice them into wedges. Serve immediately while they are hot, crispy on the outside, and loaded with melty cheese and tender steak inside!
