Beef And Bacon Twirls Recipes

SPICED BACON TWISTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Combine first five ingredients; rub over bacon on both sides. Twist bacon; place on a rack in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan., Bake 25-30 minutes or until firm; bake longer if desired.

BEEF AND BACON TWIRLS

Steps:

• Place bacon in a 12x8x2-inch baking dish; cover with paper towels.
• Microwave at HIGH for 4 to 5 minutes or until bacon is partially cooked. Drain bacon; set aside.
• Place steaks between two sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/2-inch thickness, using a meat mallet.
• Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder; dash of pepper and 1 tablespoon parsley over each steak.
• Arrange 5 slices of bacon lengthwise over each steak.
• Starting at narrow end, roll up steaks; secure with wooden picks at 1-inch intervals.
• Cut into 1-inch slices.
• Grill, covered, over hot coals for 4 to 5 minutes on each side or to the desired degree of doneness.

HOT DOGS AND BACON TWIRLS

Steps:

• Slice the hot dogs in half lengthwise. In a small bowl, mash the cheese with a fork, then blend in mustard, onion and Worcestershire sauce. Spread generously between hot dog halves. Roll 1 strip of bacon around each of the hot dogs. Grill over hot coals, turning often until bacon is browned to taste. Serve on hot dog rolls.

BACON-WRAPPED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Trim beef tenderloin to a thickness of 2 1/2 inches.
• Combine rosemary, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Rub and press mixture evenly over all sides of the beef.
• Place a long sheet of plastic wrap on a work surface. Arrange bacon slices crosswise on the wrap, slightly overlapping each piece to form a rectangle. Place the seasoned tenderloin over the bacon slices. Wrap the bacon slices up around the beef and secure with toothpicks. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Remove beef from the refrigerator; remove and discard plastic wrap.
• Heat oil in a roasting pan over 2 burners set to medium heat. Place beef, seam-side down, in the roasting pan. Cook until bacon begins to brown, turning to brown on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven. Roast, uncovered, until firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, 30 to 35 minutes, or until desired doneness.
• Transfer beef, seam-side down, to a platter. Remove toothpicks and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
