lunchFlank Steak Quesadilla
Get ready for bold flavor when you whip up this flank steak quesadilla! This is a classic dish, I mean who doesn’t love fried onion and bell pepper with tender flank steak stuffed in flour tortillas that are stuffed to the brim with cheese? Now this is the more modern take on a flank steak quesadilla, and by that I mean we used flour tortillas. For a more traditional style, try it with fresh corn tortillas!

Open in Pepper →Flank Steak Is A Weeknight Workhorse
Flank steak is lean, cooks fast, and stretches a long way once you slice it thin. Give it a marinade in the morning and dinner is mostly done by the time you get home.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection when they want something better than another chicken night but don't have an hour to stand at the stove — grill nights, taco nights, and any evening the family is coming and going.
Every recipe here leans on that same cut: Flank Steak Quesadilla with green bell pepper, Chipotle Lime Flank steak with chimichurri, Balsamic Caprese Grilled Flank Steak with cherry tomatoes and mozzarella, Marinated Flank Steak Tacos with Pineapple Pico de Gallo, and a Grilled Flank Steak Salad for lighter nights.
Quick Tips
- 1
Marinate at least 4 hours
Soy sauce, olive oil, and brown sugar need 4 to 8 hours to work into the meat. Overnight is fine, but pull it out 30 minutes before cooking so it isn't ice cold.
- 2
Get the pan screaming hot
Flank steak wants high heat and about 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Any longer and it turns tough.
- 3
Rest before you slice
Let the steak sit 10 minutes under loose foil so the juices stay in the meat instead of running out on the board.
- 4
Slice against the grain
Find the long muscle fibers and cut across them at an angle, no thicker than a quarter inch, for tender bites every time.
