Ingredients

  • 1 lb Bacon
  • 2 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar or 3 tbs balsamic reduction
  • 0.6 kg Boneless cross-rib steak

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425F
  2. Cut the bacon into thirds using scissors.
  3. Chop the steak into bite-sized pieces (beef cubes).
  4. Tightly wrap each piece of bacon around a piece of steak and secure it with a toothpick.
  5. Place them all on a parchment paper-lined baking tray.
  6. Drizzle the balsamic reduction over them.
  7. Bake for 12 -14 minutes.
  8. Turn the oven off and let them sit for 8-10 minutes for the bacon to crisp up.
  9. Remove from the oven and pat the steak bites dry with paper towel to remove the grease.

Notes

  • You may need to cook the bites longer if your bacon is thick. It's a lot easier if you use thin bacon.
  • Don’t overlook letting the bacon wrapped steak bites sit in the oven after it's off. I find that the longer they sit, the crispier they are. However, you don't want them to sit too much that the steak gets tough.
  • You don’t totally need the balsamic reduction, salt and pepper will do. However, I love the flavor it brings out in the steak.
  • Make sure to cover the baking tray fully with parchment paper so that grease doesn’t leak out from the bacon.
  • Hack: for ultra-crispy bacon I have definitely pre-cooked the bacon for 5-10 minutes, let it cool, and then wrapped each steak bite. It's an extra step but the bacon ends up so much crispier.
