Note
Ingredients for 6 quesadillas:
- 1lb lean flank steak, raw
- Sauce:
- 6 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1g Stevia in the raw (or 2 tablespoons coconut sugar or 1 tablespoon honey)
- black pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
- Quesadillas:
- 6 low-carb whole wheat tortillas
- 12 tablespoons shredded cabbage (2 tablespoons per quesadilla)
- 6 tablespoons carrot sticks (1 tablespoon per quesadilla)
- 6 tablespoons diced bell pepper (1 tablespoon per quesadilla)
- 1 1/2 cup reduced fat Monterey Jack (1/4 cup per quesadilla)
- 6 tablespoons black beans, drained (1 tablespoon per quesadilla)
Steps
Step 1
Slice flank steak into very thin pieces, about the thickness of two coins.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together the ingredients for the sauce. Add the steak and fold it into the marinade. Cover and marinate the steak in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Step 3
Spray a nonstick skillet with cooking spray and set on high heat. Add the steak and sear and cook until your desired readiness, about 6 to 8 minutes. Once it is finished cooking, allow the steak to slightly cool, then chop it into pieces.
Step 4
To one side of a low carb whole wheat tortilla add half of the cheese, portion of steak and then the rest of the ingredients. Fold the empty side over to create a semi-circle.
Step 5
Set a nonstick skillet on medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Once the skillet is hot, add the quesadilla. Cook for about 3 minutes per side or until the cheese has melted and the outside edges are brown and crispy.
