Instructions

1 Cut steak into small cubes. Place in a container and add ½ cup beer. Marinate
for 30 to 60 minutes, maximum. Strip Loin is pretty tender so it doesn't require
much time.
2 In a large cast iron pan start to caramelize the onions in butter and oil. They
take the longest so start them first. Cook the over medium low heat until they
start to turn brown. This can take about 30 to 40 minutes if you go low and slow
the whole time. Add more oil or butter if needed at any point. Move them around
with a wooden spoon when needed. Once the onions are golden brown transfer them
to a plate. Keep the heat on and place the skillet back on the heat, pour ¼ cup
of beer into the pan and turn the heat up to medium. Deglaze the pan by scraping
the bits of yummy goodness off the bottom of the pan. Allow liquid to reduce a
bit, takes about 5 minute for that little bit of liquid. Pour the liquid over
the onions and set aside.
3 In the same pan add the steak and cook over medium heat until the edges are
brown and gorgeous. You can add a little bit of olive oil or butter to help if
you like.
4 Add the onions back to the pan and also the roasted red peppers. Move around to
mix. Now pour in the barbecue sauce. Cook just until it coats the meat perfectly
and thickens just slightly. It should only take a few minutes.
5 Toss some of the steak bites mixture in the bottom of each mini boat.
6 Top each taco boat with all your favourite toppings.
7 Serve with a big old game day loving smile!
