Steak Teriyaki Quesadillas - cooking recipe

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 lb beef top sirloin steak (1 inch thick and 3/4 pound)
    1/2 cup finely chopped fresh pineapple (optional)
    1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
    1/2 cup finely chopped green pepper
    2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
    6 flour tortillas (8 inches)
Preparation
    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 inches 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\u00b0; medium, 160\u00b0; well-done, 170\u00b0).
    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.
