Philly Cheese Steak Quesadillas are filled with melted provolone cheese, tender crisp onions and peppers, fresh mushrooms, and seared steak slices. If you love a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich, you will love these quesadillas. They are perfect for game day!
How To Serve
These Philly Cheese Steak Quesadillas really have it all! They make a great gameday snack or party appetizer. You can dip them in salsa for even more flavor and sour cream goes great with them too. I like adding onions, peppers, and mushrooms to these quesadillas. You can leave the mushrooms out if you don’t like them.
Recipe Tips
If you want to, you can use chicken instead of beef.
I season the steak with steak seasoning for added flavor. Use any brand you like. I tend to use McCormick Montreal Steak Seasoning.
To save time, cook the onions, peppers, mushrooms, and steak a day ahead of time and refrigerate them. Then just warm them in the microwave before making your quesadillas.
Mozzarella cheese can be used instead of provolone.
Type of Steak To Use
I use sirloin or rib-eye for the steak. Use sirloin if you want to go a little leaner, and use rib-eye if you want all the juicy flavor that goes with a fattier meat.

Yummy and easy!!
this, while delicious, only even slightly resembles a real cheese steak. peppers are not standard, onions aren’t either which is why in philly standard is just salt and pepper. most of us will opt to add onions, most won’t opt for peppers. when we do add peppers it tends to be long hots not green peppers, or jalapenos and someone in here mentioned.
This is such a good recipe. I made them last night for dinner and my hubby couldn’t get enough. Next time I want to add jalapenos for a little bit of heat. This has become a family staple. Thanks so much.
Amazing!
