Food Processor, and slice
the onions. Place a large skillet over medium-low heat
and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the
onions with salt and pepper to the skillet and cook over

soft and caramel in colour.
While onions are caramelizing, replace the slicing disc
with the reversible shredding disc on the medium
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⁄
