Steak Corn Tortilla Soft Tacos

I spent yesterday as I suspect many others did, at home keeping one eye on my nieces, who I was babysitting, and the other on the tv to keep up with college football scores.  Well, not really score(s), I actually only cared about the outcome of one game...the Notre Dame game.  Unfortunately, despite the highest hopes and confidence in the new coach, we were once again disappointed with the outcome, a loss to Stanford.  Halfway through the game, in order to get my mind on something else, I took a trip across town to a local Farmer's Market to pick up a fresh chicken for Sunday night's Barbeque Chicken at Nan's.  While there I pondered what to fix for myself for dinner and contemplated what comfort food to wallow in after the inevitable third Irish loss.  It always comes back to tacos (...or a cheeseburger, but I just had that on Friday night...or pizza, but I just had that on Thursday).  They were having a special on some gorgeous bone-less Rib Eye steaks for about $4.80 per pound, so I picked out my little lovely cut of beef, my Mom's cut-up chicken and headed back home to see the end of disappointing game.  Despair not, at least there was good food to eat and, as the saying goes, there is always next week. 

Steak Soft Tacos
1 bone-less rib eye steak
high quality corn tortillas
sliced onion
sliced green pepper

Preheat the grill to high.  Prepare the steak with your favorite dry rub or a combination of ground chili powders, cumin, garlic powder, salt and pepper.  Grill the steak for approximately 4 minutes per side.  Remove to a plate and let sit for about 10 minutes, lightly covered with foil. Brush the corn tortillas lightly with canola oil and grill for about 2 minutes per side until warm and pliable. 

Meanwhile, in a large skillet preheated over medium high heat saute the onions and green pepper in some canola oil until vegetables are soft and tender but still with a bit of bite.  Slice the steak into very thin strips.

Top the corn tortillas with steak, vegetables and other optional items such as jalapeno slices, hot sauce, salsa, guacamole and sour cream.
