Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Thinly sliced steak | 1 lb | |
| Onion, diced | 1 | |
| Red bell pepper, chopped | 1 | |
| Green bell pepper, chopped | 1 | |
| Mushrooms, sliced | 1 cup | |
| Garlic, minced | 2 cloves | |
| Olive oil | 2 tbsp | Separated |
| Provolone cheese | 6 slices | |

| Black pepper | ¼ tsp | |
| Kosher salt | To taste | |
| Sriracha mayo or classic mayo | Optional | For spreading |

Directions
1. Cook the Steak
Warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced steak, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until browned and tender. Once the excess moisture has evaporated, transfer the meat to a plate and set aside.
2. Sauté the Vegetables
Using the same skillet, pour in the remaining olive oil. Add the onion, bell peppers, mushrooms, and garlic, cooking until the vegetables become soft and fragrant. Return the cooked steak to the pan, mix everything together, and taste for seasoning.
3. Assemble the Quesadillas
Spread a thin layer of mayo on each tortilla if desired. Spoon the steak and vegetable mixture evenly onto one side of each tortilla. Top with Provolone slices and a sprinkle of shredded Mexican cheese, then fold the tortillas over.
4. Toast Until Crispy
Place a clean skillet over low heat with a light drizzle of oil. Cook each quesadilla until the outside becomes golden and crisp and the cheese melts completely, turning once during cooking.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Slice into wedges and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or salsa.
✨ Helpful Tip: For a spicy kick, add sliced jalapeños before folding the tortillas. If you enjoy a crunchier texture, try using flatbreads instead of tortillas.
