Grilled Fast-Fry Steak Quesadillas

10 min prep

15 min cooking

Serves 4

Difficulty 2/5

Made with Beef Fast-fry steaks, these quesadillas are super fast and easy. You can't go wrong with this quesadilla recipe — kids of all ages love them. You can pan-fry the steaks and bake the quesadillas in the oven or prepare the entire meal on the grill.

Ingredients

12 oz (375 g) Top Sirloin Cap Fast-Fry Steak ½ tsp (2 mL) EACH salt and fresh ground pepper 2 tbsp (30 mL) fresh lime juice 1½ cups (375 mL) shredded Monterey Jack cheese 1 cup (250 mL) frozen corn, thawed 1/2 cup (125 mL) quartered grape tomatoes 2 tbsp (30 mL) diced red onion 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced ½ tsp (2 mL) hot pepper sauce 4 large flour tortillas

Directions

1. Pat steak dry with paper towel. Rub all over with salt and pepper. Pan-fry or grill in a closed barbecue over medium-high heat, turning at least twice, for 4 to 6 minutes for fast-fry steak for medium-rare 145°F (63°C) at the least. Transfer to a cutting board, drizzle with lime juice and let rest for 5 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, combine cheese, corn, tomatoes, onion, jalapeño and hot sauce in a bowl; spread one-quarter of mixture evenly over one half of each of the 4 tortillas. Slice steaks thinly across the grain and place strips on top of cheese mixture, dividing equally. Fold over each tortilla half to form a half-moon. 3. To oven-bake, place quesadillas on baking sheet and bake in 400°F oven about 10 minutes or until cheese melts, turning halfway through cooking. Or, to grill, place quesadillas on grill over low heat; grill, turning once, for 2 minutes per side or until tortillas are browned and cheese is melted. 4. Transfer to cutting board and cut into wedges to serve.

Tip

Seasoning steaks prior to pan-frying or grilling enhances the flavour better than if you season the steaks after cooking.
