Honey Grilled Bourbon Bites

This recipe is from one of our personal hometown heroes: Kansas City Steak Cook Team Chef Eric Harland. Loaded with flavor and just the right amount of kick and sweetness, this is one steak kabob recipe you’ll be making again soon. Don’t wait until the last minute on this recipe, though. For optimum flavor, marinade your steak overnight and enjoy the reward for your patience! Serve with your favorite summer salad or vegetable medley and an ice-cold beverage. Bon Appetit!

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Combine Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, ¼ cup honey, and ½ cup bourbon using a large Ziploc® bag.
2. Make sure to remove all air from the bag and refrigerate overnight.
3. Heat a grill to 350°F or 400°F, or a cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Spray with a little oil.
4. Drain the excess marinade from steak tips.
5. Skew steak tips on skewers with your choice of vegetables, or just enjoy steak bites alone. Cook 5-7 minutes until color develops on each side.
6. Mix remaining bourbon and honey in a small bowl, then pour over steak tips to glaze.
7. Continue cooking until the glaze has caramelized and darkened to a rich brown color, and some of the bourbon has cooked out. (No more than 2 mins.)
8. Tenderloin tips will have plenty of salt, but for that extra flavor boost, sprinkle a little of Kansas City Steak Seasoning over the top.
