Ingredients for Beef And Bacon Shish Kabobs

  • Dry Sherry
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Sirloin Steak
  • Bacon
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion

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

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
