So I spent yesterday afternoon slaving in the kitchen. Actually no, I’m kidding. Everything was pretty simple and quick to make – except for the grilling part, though that was the hubby’s job!
how to make Bacon Steak Bombs
To prep the Bacon Steak Bombs, I started out with my homemade steak marinade, which I’ve shared the recipe for below. Then I cut a beef roast into one inch chunks and tossed them into the bowl of marinade, making sure each piece was soaked, then covered and refrigerated for an hour. After that, I wrapped each chunk of steak with a half slice of bacon – super simple!
Now the key to grilling these is to use tinfoil so that the bacon grease doesn’t make the flames kick up into overdrive. I just took a long sheet, folded up the sides, then crunched the corners so it would stay. I then set that on the grill and arranged the Bacon Steak Bombs on it.
The hubby slow cooked the ribs and steak bombs over the grill for about an hour and they turned out perfect! When all was said and done we had an awesome tailgating spread with Bacon Steak Bombs, BBQ Ribs, Mozzarella Sticks and Jalepeno Poppers.
These can even be taken to a party. You can easily reheat the Bacon Steak Bombs in the microwave for a few minutes until warm and they won’t lose any flavor!
