Instructions
In a small bowl combine the steak seasoning ingredients, mix with a whisk. Sprinkle the ribeye steaks evenly with the steak seasoning and let them come up to room temperature.
Preheat a well-seasoned cast iron pan. Place the steaks in the pan making sure there is room around the edges and the steaks are not touching. Cook 2 minutes, on each side.
Once both sides are well browned, turn down the heat and continue to cook until the steak well-seasoned to your liking. Remove the steaks from the pan and allow them to rest, before slicing. Cut into thin strips.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Ladle ½ of the enchilada sauce into a 9 × 12 baking pan or dish, and set aside.
In a plate large enough for the tortilla to lay flat; ladle some of the remaining enchilada sauce to cover the bottom of the plate.
Warm tortillas, per package instructions or warm over a gas burner.
Place a prepared tortilla on the plate into the enchilada sauce and press down to coat. Flip and coat the other side; both sides should be coated with enchilada sauce. Place the coated tortilla onto another clean plate or work surface. Add about 2 to 3 tablespoons of refried beans to the tortilla and smear with the back of a spoon to coat the tortilla evenly. Leave a 1-inch border around the outer edge of the tortilla, so that the cheese and beans don’t ooze out when rolling the tortilla.
Add some of the steak strips on top of the beans and then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Roll up the tortilla and place the enchilada seam-side down into the enchilada sauce inside the baking dish or pan. Repeat until you have made all 10 enchiladas.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the enchiladas and smooth over the sauce with a spoon making sure to coat each enchilada completely.
Top with remaining cheese. Place the enchiladas in the oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and everything is warmed through.
