Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb beef sirloin
  • 8 slices bacon
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 8 sticks wooden skewers

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes. Cut 1.5 lb beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and 8 bacon slices into 1-inch pieces.

  2. 2

    Thread beef and bacon alternately onto the skewers, pressing snugly. Brush with 2 tbsp olive oil and season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.

  3. 3

    Grill over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until beef is browned and bacon is crisp, about 10-12 minutes. Serve hot.

  4. 4

    If using a grill pan, cook in batches to avoid crowding; the kebabs should sizzle, not steam.

Tools you’ll need
