Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s jump right into making these quesadillas! First, I heat my skillet over medium-high heat and add in the olive oil, letting it warm up for just a minute. Then, I toss in the sliced onion and bell pepper, sautéing until they’re soft and slightly caramelized. This part already smells so delicious! After about 5–7 minutes, I add in the steak strips, seasoning them with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. I cook the steak until it’s browned and cooked through, which usually takes around 4–5 minutes. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
