Heinz Red Zone Recipe: Steak Quesadillas
(KDKA)
Each week in the Heinz Red Zone on The PNC Hines Ward Show, Rania Harris puts together some great recipes that are sure to make your tailgating party a hit.
Steak Quesadillas with Caramelized Onions
1 ½ cups sliced grilled steak brushed with Heinz 57 Steak Sauce made Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 large red Bermuda onions - thinly sliced
¼ cup brown sugar
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
6 - 6-inch flour tortillas
1 ½ cups shredded jack cheese (I use pepper jack cheese)
Garnishes:
Classico Pesto Sauce
Sour cream
DIRECTIONS:
Set the cooked steak aside. In a large non-aluminum skillet heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent. Add the sugar to the onions and simmer over low heat until almost all of the liquid has evaporated. The onions should be slightly caramelized. Add the salt and pepper. Taste for seasoning and cool.
Heat a non-stick grill pan over medium-high heat. Place a tortilla on the pan and spoon ¼ cup of the onion mixture evenly over one half. Sprinkle with ¼ cup of the cooked steak and top evenly with ¼ cup of the cheese; fold the tortilla in half, pressing down with a spatula.
Cook the quesadilla until lightly browned, then turn over and cook the other side until lightly brown. Place on a cutting board, slice into wedges, and keep warm under foil. Repeat to cook the remaining quesadillas. Arrange on a large serving platter and serve immediately accompanied by the pesto and sour cream.
