Ingredients
→ For the steak
01 1 pound skirt steak, diced into 1-inch pieces
02 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
03 ½ teaspoon onion powder
04 1 teaspoon salt
05 1 teaspoon black pepper
06 1 medium onion, diced
→ For the quesadillas
07 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
08 1½ cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
09 4 burrito-size flour tortillas
Instructions
Step 01
Preheat your Blackstone grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400°F). Spread vegetable oil evenly across the cooking surface.
Step 02
Place diced steak and onions on the grill in an even layer. Season with onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 4-8 minutes per side until steak is browned and cooked through.
Step 03
Push the cooked steak and onions to one side of the grill. Reduce the Blackstone temperature to medium heat.
Step 04
Place tortillas on the cleared area of the grill. Top each tortilla with a layer of both cheeses, then add the steak and onion mixture, and finish with more cheese on top.
Step 05
Carefully fold each tortilla in half to create a half-moon shape. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
Step 06
Carefully flip each quesadilla and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the other side is golden brown. Watch closely as they brown quickly.
Step 07
Remove quesadillas to a cutting board and slice into wedges. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
You can substitute flank steak for skirt steak if preferred - both work great for this recipe.
Watch the quesadillas closely when cooking as they can brown very quickly on the Blackstone.
Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
The combination of mozzarella and Monterey Jack gives the perfect melty, stretchy cheese pull.
