Blackstone Quesadilla Cooking Instructions

 1. Prep the Steak

1. Thinly slice your steak against the grain if not pre-sliced.

2. Place in a bowl and season with steak seasoning, olive oil, and Worcestershire sauce.

3. Let sit while prepping veggies.

Pro Tip: For easier slicing, freeze steak for 20–30 minutes before cutting.

 2. Heat the Blackstone

1. Preheat Blackstone griddle on medium-high heat (~400°F / 200°C).

2. Add a small amount of oil or butter where you plan to cook the steak and vegetables.

3. Cook the Steak

1. Add steak to one zone of the griddle.

2. Sear for 3–4 minutes, flipping or tossing once or twice until browned.

3. Move to a cooler zone or keep warm off to the side.

 4. Sauté the Peppers & Onions

1. Add oil or butter to another zone.

2. Toss in the sliced peppers and onions.

3. Cook until soft and slightly charred—about 6–8 minutes.

4. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

 5. Assemble the Quesadillas

1. Lower one zone to medium heat (~325°F).

2. Place tortillas flat on the griddle.

3. On half of each tortilla, layer:

   • Shredded cheese

   • A portion of cooked steak

   • Some sautéed veggies

   • A little more cheese

4. Fold each tortilla in half (like a taco).

5. Press gently with spatula or a grill press.

6. Toast the Quesadillas

1. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

2. The cheese should be fully melted, and the exterior lightly toasted.

3. Flip carefully using two spatulas if needed.

 7. Slice and Serve

1. Remove from the griddle and let rest 1 minute.

2. Slice into wedges.

3. Serve with sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or spicy ranch.

 Storage & Reheating

 Pro Tips for Quesadilla Success

•  Use freshly shredded cheese for better melt quality.

•  Don’t overstuff the tortillas—they’ll be harder to flip.

•  Cook steak just to medium or slightly pink; it finishes on the griddle.

•  Use a press or another skillet to get that crispy quesadilla crunch.

•  Keep your zones organized: one hot, one warm, one medium.
