Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoon ketchup
  • 3/4 lb beef tenderloin cut into 12 large bite size pieces
  • 1 small red pepper cored seeded and cut into 12 long strips
  • 1 8 ounce can whole water chestnuts
  • 6 slices uncooked hardwood smoked bacon sliced in half
  • 6 green onions trimmed & cut in half
  • Toothpicks

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. I use olive oil.
  • Combine soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, ginger, garlic powder, water, honey, and ketchup in a small saucepan. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes.
  • Wrap one piece of red pepper, one water chestnut, one piece of green onion, and one piece of beef with half slice of bacon. Secure with a toothpick. Repeat until all are wrapped.
  • Place on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, gently turn and baste with soy/ginger marinade. Place back in the oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove and baste. Repeat until bacon is good and crispy; approximately 30 minutes.

Notes

  • This recipe is best made with beef tenderloin; however, petite shoulder, strip, or rib-eye steak are all good alternatives.
  • Cut the peppers into strips that are wide enough to cradle the size of the beef and water chestnuts.
  • To keep your toothpicks from burning, soak them in water for about 30 minutes.
  • For maximum flavor, use fresh ginger or ginger paste.
  • This is a bit of a messy recipe when roasting, so cover your baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with a little nonstick cooking spray or oil.
