Steaked-Out Pita Pizzas Recipe

Steaked-Out Pita Pizzas Recipe

  • 1 pound beef shoulder center steaks (Ranch) or boneless top sirloin steak, cut 3/4 inch thick
  • 2/3 cup reduced-fat non-creamy Caesar dressing, divided
  • 4 whole wheat pita breads
  • 3/4 cup shredded reduced-fat Italian cheese blend, divided
  • 6 cups loosely packed sliced romaine lettuce
  • 1 cup diced seeded tomatoes
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut beef steak lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 1/8-inch thick strips. Combine beef and 1/3 cup dressing in medium bowl; toss to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes.
  2. Place pita breads slightly overlapping on metal baking sheet. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons cheese on each pita. Bake in 350 degrees F oven 10 to 12 minutes or until pitas are toasted and cheese is melted.
  3. Meanwhile, remove beef from marinade, draining well; discard marinade. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add 1/2 of beef; stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes or until outside surface of beef is no longer pink. Remove from skillet. Repeat with remaining beef.
  4. Toss lettuce, tomatoes and remaining 1/2 cup cheese in large bowl. Add beef and remaining 1/3 cup dressing; toss to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper. Divide beef mixture evenly over pitas. Serve immediately.
