Notes

Both methods make great steak quesadillas it just depends what equipment you have. I encourage you to try both methods and let me know which you prefer.
Go wild on adding different topping and if you don't eat steak, chicken, pork, seafood or even a veggie quesadilla are fantastic variations ...don't be afraid to get creative.
