Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 slices thick-cut bacon (about 12 ounces)
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons coarsely ground mixed peppercorns

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Arrange the bacon on a wire rack set on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the fat starts rendering, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and blot the bacon with paper towels on both sides.
Combine the brown sugar, maple syrup and cayenne in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, stirring, until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Brush the bacon with half the syrup mixture and sprinkle with half the ground peppercorns. Bake until the bacon browns around the edges, about 15 minutes. Flip and blot the other side with paper towels, then brush with the remaining syrup mixture (reheat in the microwave, if necessary); sprinkle with the remaining peppercorns. Continue baking until the bacon browns and the sugar melts, 15 to 20 more minutes. Let cool slightly.

Pepper Steak Skewers image

Provided by Sandra Lee

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds flank steak
2 tablespoons Montreal steak seasoning
1 12-ounce jar roasted red peppers, halved
1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/2 tablespoon hot sauce
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

Preheat a grill to medium. Butterfly the steak by cutting horizontally through the center until the two halves open flat. Cover with plastic wrap and pound it to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 3 equal rectangles.
Lay out each steak rectangle. Season with 1 tablespoon steak seasoning. Lay a piece of the roasted red pepper along the bottom edge of each. Sprinkle each with 1/3 cup cheese. Starting at the bottom edge, roll each rectangle into a tight log. Place the 3 rolls parallel to one another. Pierce the 3 rolls with 6 evenly spaced skewers so each skewer goes through the center of all rolls. Slice the rolls between the skewers to make 6 skewers with 3 pieces on each. Season with the remaining 1 tablespoon steak seasoning.
Make the spicy yogurt sauce: Combine the steak seasoning, yogurt, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce and parsley in a bowl.
Brush the grill grates with the canola oil. Grill the skewers for 3 minutes on all sides. Serve with the sauce. Photograph by Antonis Achilleos
