🔥 Instructions:

1. Marinate & Cook the Steak:

   • Rub steak with olive oil and seasonings. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes (or marinate up to 24 hours).

   • Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook steak for 3–4 minutes per side (medium-rare to medium).

   • Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.

2. Cook Veggies:

   • In the same skillet, add a bit of oil if needed and sauté onions and peppers until softened and lightly charred (5–7 minutes). Set aside.

3. Assemble Quesadillas:

   • On half of each tortilla, layer cheese, sliced steak, sautéed veggies, jalapeños, and a bit more cheese.

   • Fold the tortillas over to make a half-moon shape.

4. Cook Quesadillas:

   • Wipe the skillet clean and heat butter or oil over medium heat.

   • Cook each quesadilla 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy, and the cheese is melted.

5. Serve:

   • Slice into wedges and serve hot with your favorite toppings.
