I like beer, I like cheese, I like onion. So please welcome back the Beercheese Onion!

Today on "Will it Blackstone?" Steak Tortilla Bowl ft. Beercheese Onion

I've posted better details for this before so I'll stick to the quick version here.

Start with a round of knifey spoony to hollow out an onion, while playing this game drink at least half a beer, I recommend 1.5 😂 Get the onion and half beer on to preheat while cooking some bacon and pizza rolls.

I also opted to try out some hand cut fries here so I rubbed them with salt & racked them to start sweating the moisture out.

When the bacon is done, use that greasy area to fry some sliced garlic.

Make a roux with bacon fat and flour, if you don't have enough bacon fat you can use butter or tallow. Scoop it up and drop it like it's hot into the deathly hollows of the onion. Stir in some warm beer until the roux starts to combine. Add cheese and cover, I used an Australian sharp cheddar since that's where knifey spoony originated 🤣 cover and stir occasionally to keep the cheese melting.

I did this prior with a pita so figured why not try a tortilla bowl? Use some toothpicks to hold the sides together and set it down until it starts to brown. By the time the bottom is brown, it should be stiff enough to remove the toothpicks and still hold shape but you can leave them in until the end. Rack the bowl to keep it warm.

I used olive oil for the fries, heat it up until it starts to lightly smoke, kinda like a heavy coat of seasoning 😂 if necessary keep pulling it away from the drain. If the fries don't sizzle when they hit the oil then it's not hot enough. Brown and toss in some lemon pepper seasoning then rack to keep warm.

Steak was simply rubbed with S&P then brought to room temp before cooking. Slice and fill the bowl, don't forget to save some plain pieces for your dogs!

Dump the Beercheese Onion over the steak, top with bacon, fried garlic, and scallions, serve w/ fries and dig in! The beercheese is great for dipping fries in, if you have any left.

Don't discard the onion, chop it up and use it with some leftover steak to make a sandwich or wrap or quesadilla or something else oniony and cheesy 😅
