Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 pound strip steak, trimmed

  • 4 cups presliced fresh pepper-and- onion mix (about 12 ounces)

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

  • 2 slices prepeeled fresh pineapple (3/4 inch thick; about 4 ounces)

  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium teriyaki sauce

  • ¼ cup pico de gallo or other fresh tomato salsa

  • 8 corn tortillas, warmed

Directions

  1. Place a grill basket on one half of grill; preheat the grill to high.

  2. Cut steak crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Toss in a medium bowl with peppers and onions, oil, salt and pepper.

  3. Place the steak and vegetables in the grill basket; grill, stirring once or twice, until the vegetables are soft and charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Oil the other side of the grill rack; place pineapple on the rack and grill, turning once, until slightly charred, about 2 minutes per side.

  4. Transfer the steak and vegetables to a large bowl and toss with teriyaki sauce. Dice the pineapple and combine in a small bowl with pico de gallo (or salsa).

  5. Serve the steak and vegetables on tortillas with the salsa.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
