How to Make Beer And Sriracha Marinated Beef Lettuce Cups

1. **Marinate the Beef:** In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/2 cup beer (any kind works!), 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1-2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to your spice preference), and 1 tablespoon sesame oil.
2. Add 1 lb thinly sliced beef strips to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly.
3. Marinate for at least 1 hour at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
4. **Prepare the Condiments:**
5. In a small bowl, toss 1 cup shredded carrots with 1 tablespoon lime juice and a pinch of salt.
6. Prepare individual serving bowls with: 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (any color), 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, and extra sriracha for those who like extra heat. Also prepare cooked rice (about 2 cups cooked).
7. Arrange lettuce cups (butter lettuce or romaine work well) on a platter.
8. **Sear the Beef:** Heat 1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
9. Add beef strips in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned and cooked through.
10. Transfer the cooked beef to a platter and keep warm.
11. **Make the Sauce:** Pour the remaining marinade and any collected meat juices into the skillet. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
12. Pour the thickened sauce into a small bowl.
13. **Assemble the Lettuce Cups:** Spoon a few spoonfuls of rice into each lettuce cup. Add 1-2 strips of seared beef and top with a spoonful of the reduced marinade.
14. Sprinkle with the prepared condiments, drizzle with extra sriracha if desired, and roll up. Enjoy!
