1/2 cup mozzarella cheese grated
1/4 cup onion sliced

2 Tablespoon butter

Instructions

Thinly slice grilled leftover steak against the grain. See the note below if you need to cook the steak.
Slice onions and peppers. Set aside.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Melt one tablespoon of butter. Add sliced onions and peppers. Saute until almost crisp tender.
Add sliced, pre-cooked, steak. Cook one more minute. Remove steak and veggies from the pan. Carefully wipe the pan clean with a paper towel.
Over medium heat, melt the remaining Tablespoon of butter in the same skillet. Add one tortilla to the pan. Layer with grated cheese, meat and veggies, and another layer of cheese. Top with the other tortilla.
Cook for a couple of minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown. Flip and cook for a few more minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove a cutting board. Let rest for a minute. Cut into wedges.

Notes

If you're using raw steak:

If you're using raw steak slice thinly against the grain and then cut again to make small steak pieces.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. melt a tablespoon of butter in the skillet.
Add the steak pieces and fry until cooked through. The amount of time will vary depending on the thickness of the steak.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve with sour cream
Salsa
Steak sauce

Storing:

Although you can store steak quesadillas in the fridge or freezer, I don't recommend it. It's better to prep the veggies and meat ahead of time and fry the quesadillas when you're ready to eat them.
