Ingredients for Beef And Bacon Shish Kabobs

  • A.1. Original Sauce
  • Dry Sherry
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Sirloin Steak
  • Bacon
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • Bell Pepper
  • Mushroom Caps

How to Make Beef And Bacon Shish Kabobs

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup steak sauce, 2 tablespoons sherry, and 1 tablespoon honey.
  2. Place 1.5 lbs of cubed beef (1-inch cubes) in a non-metal dish.
  3. Pour 1/4 cup of the steak sauce mixture over the beef cubes, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  4. Cover the dish and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  5. Remove the beef cubes from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels.
  6. Wrap each beef cube with half a slice of bacon (about 6-8 slices depending on size).
  7. Thread the beef and bacon cubes alternately onto 4 metal skewers with 1/2 cup of chopped onion, 1/2 cup of chopped bell pepper (any color), and 1 cup of sliced mushrooms.
  8. Preheat your grill to medium heat.
  9. Grill the kabobs for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with the remaining steak sauce mixture for extra flavor and to prevent sticking. Cook until the beef reaches your desired doneness (internal temperature of 160°F for medium-well).
  10. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
