Healthy Recipe of the Week: Steak & Onion Pita Pizza

Ingredients

• 4 Large Whole Wheat 7-Inch Pita Breads
• 1 Pound Boneless Sirloin Steak
• Freshly Ground Black Pepper
• 1 Small Green Bell Pepper (Seeded & Diced)
• 1 Medium Onion (Cut Into Strips)
• 1/4 Cup Water
• 1 1/3 Cups Tomato Sauce (Preferably Lower Sodium)

Directions

• 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• 2. Put the pitas on the oven rack and toast for 4 to 5 minutes until lightly crisped. Make sure they don't burn. Remove from the oven.
• 3. Meanwhile, season the steak with the ground pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, cook the steak for 2 to 3 minutes over medium-high heat. Remove from the pan and set aside. Pour out any fat from the pan.
• 4. Put the pepper, onion and water in the pan, reduce heat to medium and cook, uncovered, for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir until the vegetables begin to soften and the excess liquid reduces almost completely.
• 5. Lay the pitas on a baking sheet. Spoon 1/3 cup of tomato sauce over each pita and top each with an equal amount of steak, vegetables and cheese.
• 6. Bake for about 6 minutes or until the cheese melts to desired level. Serve immediately!
