shredding side and process the Gruyère.
Grill or pan-roast the steaks until rare to medium-rare
(steaks will continue to cook in the quesadillas). Allow
steaks to cool and then thinly slice.
To assemble: evenly place ¼ cup (50 ml) of onions on a
tortilla and top with 4 to 5 slices of steak, ¹⁄ ³ cup (75 ml)
of shredded cheese and then top with another tortilla.
Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Preheat the Cuisinart
plates in the closed position, to 375°F (190°C). Brush
the top and bottom tortillas lightly with oil and grill until
the cheese is melted and the tortillas are golden and
crisp, about 3 minutes.
Quesadillas can also be prepared in a 375°F (190°C)
oven, baked on parchment lined baking trays.
To serve: Cut quesadillas into quarters and serve with
salsa, guacamole and sour cream.
Note: The fl avour of the caramelized onions is well
worth the time it takes to prepare them.
