A game day appetizer everyone will be fighting over! Tender Bacon Wrapped Tenderloin Bites charred on the grill and served with a homemade creamy horseradish sauce! OMG!
Surprisingly enough, Steak is not the main protein we eat in our house. To be honest, I’m not sure why? We live in Texas, Steak is like the national food down here!!!!
We didn’t eat much of it growing up so I guess that just carried into my adulthood. But today I am changing that!
Today to celebrate NFL season and all things tailgating we are grilling up Bacon Wrapped Tenderloin Bites. WHAT!?! But we aren’t stopping there, oh no, that would be way to easy, we are making a Creamy Horseradish Sauce to dip them in!
These Tenderloin Bites are not just your run of the mill chopped top sirloin. These Tenderloin Bites are 1 inch chunks from a tender Filet Mignon!! That’s right, go big or go home! Then wrapped in Omaha’s Applewood Smoked Steak Cut Bacon!
When putting these bites together, use wooden toothpicks or wooden skewers that have been soaked for at least 15 minutes or you’re going to have a fire on your hands. Once the bites are on the grill be sure to have a direct heat side of the grill and an indirect side. After the first few minutes of grilling, that bacon grease (as divine as it is) is going to start dripping into your grill and cause flare ups. Just move the bites to the indirect heat side and you’ll be good to go.
Sometimes I wish you could smell through the screen. Because if you could smell these bites you’d be in heaven!
These bites are seriously are no joke! It is man tailgate food to the core. Tender Filet Mignon Steak, Smoked Bacon, and then a delicious sauce to go with. What more could you ask for! Pure delicious bliss right here! I hope you give them a try, I know you won’t be disappointed!
Bon Appetite my friends.
