These gently charred quesadillas embody the definition of cheesy deliciousness. The slight smoky flavor pairs perfectly with sweet pineapple and savory steak.—Lisa Huff, Clive, Iowa

Steak Teriyaki Quesadillas Recipe

Prep: 20 min. + marinating Grill: 15 min.

Yield: 18 Servings

20 15 35

Ingredients

1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1/3 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon minced fresh gingerroot
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 garlic clove, minced
1 beef top sirloin steak (1 inch thick and 3/4 pound)
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh pineapple
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1/2 cup finely chopped green pepper
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
6 flour tortillas (8 inches)

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients; set aside 3 tablespoons for filling. Pour remaining mixture into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the steak; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
Drain steak and discard marinade. Grill steak, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 8-11 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a meat thermometer should read 145°; medium, 160°; well-done, 170°).
Remove steak from the grill and cool slightly; cut into bite-size pieces. In a large bowl, combine the pineapple, red onion, green pepper and beef.
Sprinkle half of the cheese over three tortillas. Using a slotted spoon, top with beef mixture. Drizzle with reserved soy mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cheese; top with remaining tortillas.
Grill over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side or until cheese is melted. Cut each into six wedges; serve immediately. Yield: 18 wedges.

The steak barely made it into the quesadilla. It smelled so good coming off the grill that we all had to taste it ... and could barely stop! What a wonderful marinade. Followed recipe exactly, entire family loved it. Will DEFINITELY make this again.

These are really delicious. I forgot to reserve some of the marinade which would have made them even better, but they were still good without it. Will definitely make again.

This was excellent and a fun change on a basic quesadilla.
