Ingredients
Instructions
-
First prepare the chimichurri sauce by pulsing the parsley, cilantro and garlic together in a food processor until finely chopped.
-
Add in the lime juice, red wine vinegar, cumin and salt. Pulse until well blended.
-
Drizzle in the olive oil while the motor is running.
-
Cover the prepared sauce with plastic wrap and store in the fridge until ready to use.
-
Melt 1 Tablespoon of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the filets and cook until desired temperature (Cooking time will be based on the thickness of the meat and your desired cooking temperature. I suggest medium/medium rare for this recipe).
-
Remove the steak and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing into thin pieces.
-
Assemble the open-face quesadilla by placing a large pan over medium-high heat. Place one tortilla in the pan and sprinkle with 3/4 cup cheese. Cover the pan and heat until cheese is melted, about 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Use a spatula to lift the quesadilla from the pan and onto a plate. Place sliced steak onto tortilla, drizzle with chimichurri sauce and garnish with cilantro. Repeat assembly for second serving.
