1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add thinly sliced beef top sirloin. Sear for 5 to 7 minutes until browned.
3. Add sliced onions and green bell peppers to the skillet and cook until onions are translucent and peppers are tender, about 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Pour barbeque sauce over the beef mixture, stir, and simmer for 10 minutes.
5. Lay 4 flour tortillas on a baking sheet and evenly distribute the beef mixture on top. Sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese over the beef.
6. Place another tortilla on top of each filled tortilla.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then flip each quesadilla and bake for an additional 5 minutes until golden brown and cheese is bubbling.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, then slice into quarters or halves.
9. Serve and enjoy your Steak Cheese Steak Quesadillas.
For the perfect accompaniment to your quesadillas, serve them with a side of fresh guacamole, sour cream, or a zesty salsa. This balance of creaminess and acidity complements the flavors of the quesadilla beautifully.
If you have leftovers (though they might be too delicious to last), you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Simply reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes for the best results.
Feel free to get creative by incorporating your favorite ingredients—spinach, mushrooms, or different types of cheese all offer exciting ways to customize the dish.
