Description

Sweet, savory, and irresistibly cheesy, these Bulgogi Quesadillas fuse Korean BBQ flavors with a crispy, golden tortilla for the ultimate fusion comfort food.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound thinly sliced ribeye beef
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons grated Asian pear
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, sesame oil, grated pear, and black pepper. Add the beef and marinate for at least 2 hours.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Heat oil or butter in a skillet. Cook marinated beef for 4–5 minutes until browned. Set aside.
  4. Assemble the Dish: On a tortilla, layer mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheese, cooked beef, and green onions. Top with another tortilla.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Place quesadilla in the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cheese is melted.
  6. Finishing Touches: Let rest for a minute, then slice into triangles.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill your quesadilla or it’ll be hard to flip and may fall apart.
  • Use freshly grated cheese for the best melt and texture.
  • Let the quesadilla cool slightly before cutting to avoid cheese spilling out.
