Sweet Heat Bacon Sirloin Bites Recipes

STEAK BITES

Steps:

• Trim off the excess fat from the meat, and then cut strips less than 1-inch wide. Rotate the meat and cut into small bite-size pieces. If you see any more large chunks of fat, gristle or long silvery membrane, cut them off.
• Sprinkle generously with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Toss the meat around a bit to thoroughly coat with the seasonings.
• Next, turn on your ventilation fan-you'll need it! Heat the skillet over medium-high to high heat. As the pan heats, add about 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Allow the butter to melt, and then get very brown, before you add the meat.
• Place some of the meat in the pan in a single layer. It should sizzle loudly when it hits the pan - if it doesn't, the pan isn't hot enough. Don't stir or disrupt the meat for 30 to 45 seconds. You want it to sizzle and brown on one side. Scoop as many steak bites as you can with your spatula and flip them over. Repeat until all the meat is turned. Cook for an additional 30 to 45 seconds-just long enough to sear the outside of the meat but NOT cook the inside.
• Remove the meat to a clean plate. Add a little more butter to the pan and repeat the cooking process with the next batch just as before. Lastly, when all the meat is nicely browned and removed to the plate, pour all that browned/blackened butter all over the meat. And enjoy!

SWEET AND SPICY BACON BITES

Steps:

• Place the bacon in an even layer in a large skillet. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring often with a rubber spatula, until the bacon is light golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the maple syrup, black pepper and cayenne in a small bowl.
• Pour off some of the rendered bacon fat, leaving just a small amount. Return the skillet to the heat and pour the maple syrup mixture over the bacon. Braise gently until the syrup thickens and glazes the bacon and the bacon is deep golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.

SPICY SWEET CHICKEN BACON BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Cut bacon strips crosswise into thirds. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until partially cooked but not crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain; keep warm., Wrap a bacon piece around each chicken piece; secure with a toothpick. In a shallow bowl, mix brown sugar and seasonings. Add wrapped chicken, a few pieces at a time, and toss to coat., Place on 15x10x1-in. baking pans. Bake 10-12 minutes or until bacon is crisp and chicken is no longer pink. Serve with salad dressing and barbecue sauce.

ELSWET'S BAKED SIRLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Line a loaf [bread] pan with aluminum foil. Grease the bottom with the full 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and place your bacon-wrapped sirloin steaks into the pan. Space them well from one another and from the sides, deposit a crushed garlic clove atop each steak, and arrange onion quarters in the corners of the pan.
• Pour the liquid ingredients equally over both steaks, then sprinkle the dry ingredients evenly.
• Cover the pan with aluminum foil and marinade overnight (tastes fantastic even when you don't have time for this step).
• Bake for 45 minutes on 350°F, after which, baste, turn onion quarters, recover, and bake for a additional 45 minutes (a total of 90 minutes baking time).
• Remove to serving plate, garnish, and serve. Enjoy!

SAVORY BACON BITES

Steps:

• Wrap each onion wedge in a bacon slice. Arrange 2 wedges on each skewer; place in a shallow glass or plastic dish.
• Combine remaining ingredients; drizzle over skewers.
• Cover and refrigerate for one hour.
• Remove skewers from marinade, reserving marinade.
• Grill or broil, covered over medium-high heat for 20 minutes or until onions are crisp-tender., occasionally turning and basting with reserved marinade.
