Bacon Wrapped Steak Strips with Mushrooms & Onions

Bacon Wrapped Steak Strips with Mushrooms & OnionsThese juicy bacon-wrapped steak strips will be a real hit with bacon and steak lovers! Tons of flavor, simple ingredients.

It was clean-the-freezer time again here.

This time I found a sirloin steak I'd been keeping for some reason or other. At any rate, I forgot exactly what I was saving it for now, but I did want to use it. I'm getting a lot better at rotating my stock now (all my meat is vacuum sealed so it does keep well).

I also felt like combining bacon with this since I had quite a bit of that too thanks to a buy 2 get 3 free sale--I'm such a sucker for those things....

Anyway, I just kept it simple. Sliced the steak like you would chicken strip tenders and wrapped some bacon around it.

Simple and tastyI browned the steak first, as I'd usually do because I wanted to seal in the juices--and it looks more appetizing.

Since nothing goes better with steak than mushrooms and onions, I threw some of them in as well.

The result was a very tasty (and I understand low carb) dinner. This type of food reminds me of English country pubs. I don't know why--perhaps that it's simple, tasty and hearty all at the same time.

And on that note, served with a nice glass of ale, it's an excellent dinner.

• Bacon Wrapped Steak Strips with Mushrooms & Onions 1 1/2 lbs boneless sirloin steak
• 8 oz whole mushrooms, sliced in half
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 8-10 slices bacon*
• 2 tbs olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper

*You will need one slice of bacon for each steak strip. I got 9 strips from the steak I used. Your mileage may vary.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Cut steak into strips approximately 4-inches long and 1.5 inches wide.

Heat a large heavy totally oven-proof skillet over high heat. Brown steak strips on all sides. Remove browned strips to a plate; cool about 10 minutes. Don't wash the pan--you are going to saute the veggies in it. Heat it over medium heat.

While the steak is cooling, add the 2 tbs olive oil to the pan used for browning. Add the mushrooms, onions, salt and pepper and saute for about 5 minutes; remove mushrooms & onions, set aside and drain pan of any fat.

Wrap each cooled steak strip in one slice of bacon. Place steak strip into skillet; repeat with other steak strips.

Roast steak strips 20-25 minutes. Drain off any bacon drippings. Top with reserved mushrooms & onions.

Roast for an additional 10-15 minutes.

Serve with a green vegetable and french/steak fries.

Serves about 4.
