Steak Quesadillas

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb sirloin tip roast, sliced thinly
  • 4 tortillas
  • 12 oz cheese (cheddar or mozzarella works best, or a combination), sliced into 12 slices
  • Equal amounts chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder
  • Dash salt
  • Dash pepper
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2-3 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • Extra butter for spreading on tortillas

Directions:

Coat meat in chili, garlic, and onion powders as well as salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. 
Heat butter and minced garlic in a medium skillet over medium to medium high heat, stirring to prevent garlic from burning. 
Cook strips evenly, in small batches (about 6 to 8 strips per batch) until all meat is cooked to your preferred doneness. 
When all meat is cooked, spread butter evenly on one side of an 8" tortilla, placing buttered side down on preheated griddle (375 degrees), top with meat and 3 slices of cheese. Cook until cheese is melted, covering if necessary to avoid burning the tortilla (the trapped steam helps melt the cheese quicker).

Serve, and enjoy!

***No measurements have been tested, as I am more of an "eyeballer" than a true measure cook. Feel free to adjust measurements as needed. Also, try with sauteed onions, peppers, or any other vegetable you like!***

****If you have leftover meat, try it in a sandwich! Its pretty awesome stuff!!!****
