Quantum steering in a system consisting of a qubit coupled to a single-mode field is explored when classical-like measurements implemented by heterodyne detection schemes that collapse the state of the field on to a coherent state is considered. The quantum steering ellipsoid of the qubit is constructed to visualize the set of states on to which it can be steered using such measurements. In some cases, the steering set does not form an ellipsoid since only heterodyne detection is considered. Evolution of the steering ellipsoid corresponding to joint evolution of the qubit and field under the Jaynes-Cummins hamiltonian is also studied.
