These Leftover Steak Quesadillas are by far my favorite way to use leftover steak. Ooey cheese in a warm tortilla with onions and mushrooms. YUMM!

Steaks are an ultimate treat at our house , my three sons and husband are major carnivores . When they know we are grilling thick cuts of beef they will skip all other meals that day to make sure they can finish every little morsel. My husband , for the fear we won’t have enough meat ALWAYS grills at least two to three extra steaks . With my husbands phobia of not having enough meat we always have at least one whole steak leftover ,if not more. Over the years I have come up with many creative ways to use the leftover meat but these Leftover Steak Quesadillas are by far my favorite way. I have also done this with our left over holiday prime rib and they are even more fabulous. You could always make a soup like my leftover Prime Rib Soup .
