Cooking Instructions:

Let’s get started on these incredible Brussels sprouts! The first step is to prepare our Brussels sprouts. You’ll want to wash them thoroughly under cool running water. Then, it’s time to trim them. For each sprout, I like to cut off the very end of the stem, just the tough, brown part. Next, I peel away any loose or discolored outer leaves. These often get a little mushy when cooked, and we want that nice, firm texture. Once trimmed and cleaned, I like to cut the larger sprouts in half lengthwise. This does a couple of things: it helps them cook more evenly, and it also exposes more of that delicious interior to the heat and the marinade. Smaller sprouts can be left whole, but if you have a mix, halving the larger ones ensures consistency.

Now, for the flavor infusion. In a medium bowl, we’ll create our simple yet effective marinade. Add the 1 Tbsp of olive oil, 1/3 cup of low-sodium soy sauce, 1/4 tsp of pepper, and 1/4 tsp of garlic powder. Whisk these ingredients together until they are well combined. The olive oil will help to distribute the flavors and promote browning on the grill. The soy sauce provides that essential savory, umami base, while the pepper and garlic powder add a subtle kick and aroma that complements the beef beef bacon beautifully. Place your prepared Brussels sprouts into this marinade. Toss them gently to ensure that each sprout is coated in the flavorful mixture. Let them marinate for at least 15 to 20 minutes. This allows the sprouts to absorb some of those delicious flavors before they hit the grill.

While the sprouts are marinating, let’s prepare our star wrapper: the beef beef bacon. Lay out your 8 slices of beef beef bacon. If you have particularly thick slices, you might want to consider cutting them in half lengthwise. This will make them easier to wrap around the sprouts and ensure they crisp up nicely without burning. For each Brussels sprout (or halved sprout), you’ll want to wrap it with a piece of beef beef bacon. The best way to do this is to start at the cut side or stem end and wrap the beef bacon around snugly, overlapping slightly as you go. You can use a toothpick to secure the beef bacon if it feels like it might unravel during grilling, but often, the natural stickiness of the beef bacon will hold it in place. Make sure to wrap each sprout tightly for even cooking and a beautiful presentation.

The grilling phase is where the magic truly happens. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. You want it hot enough to get a good sear and caramelization, but not so hot that the beef bacon burns before the sprouts are tender. It’s a good idea to lightly oil your grill grates to prevent sticking. This is especially important with beef bacon, which can be prone to adhering to the grates. Carefully place your beef bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts onto the preheated grill. Try to arrange them in a single layer, ensuring they have enough space around them. This allows for optimal airflow and even cooking. Close the grill lid to help cook them through.

Grilling and Finishing Touches:

Now, the key to perfectly grilled beef bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts is patient monitoring and strategic turning. You’ll want to grill these for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are tender-crisp and the beef beef bacon is nicely browned and crispy. About halfway through the cooking time, which is roughly after 8-10 minutes, it’s crucial to turn them. Use tongs to carefully flip each sprout so that all sides get exposed to the direct heat of the grill. This turning is what guarantees that the beef bacon gets deliciously crispy all around and the sprouts cook evenly. You’re looking for that beautiful char on the beef bacon and the sprouts themselves should be yielding to the touch, not mushy, but definitely cooked through. If you notice any spots where the beef bacon is browning much faster than others, you can subtly rearrange them or even move them to a slightly cooler part of the grill if you have hot spots.

Once your Brussels sprouts have reached that perfect state of tender-crispness and the beef beef bacon is gloriously crispy and rendered, it’s time to remove them from the grill. Use your tongs to carefully transfer them to a serving platter. The aroma that will fill your kitchen (or backyard) at this point is absolutely divine. You’ll see the beautiful caramelized bits on the beef bacon and the slightly charred edges of the sprouts. Let them rest for just a minute or two before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the beef bacon to firm up just a touch more. These are best served warm, straight off the grill, when the beef bacon is at its crispiest and the sprouts are at their most tender. They make an unforgettable appetizer that’s sure to disappear quickly, or a fantastic side dish that will have everyone asking for the recipe. Enjoy every delicious, smoky, savory bite!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Can I make these ahead of time?

A: While they are best enjoyed fresh off the grill for maximum crispiness, you can certainly prep them ahead. Wrap the sprouts with the beef and beef bacon, cover them tightly, and refrigerate. Grill them just before serving for the best texture and flavor.

Q: What if I don’t have a grill? Can I bake them?

A: Absolutely! To bake these, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the wrapped sprouts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the beef bacon is crisp and the sprouts are tender and slightly caramelized. You might want to broil them for the last minute or two to get that extra char.

Q: How do I ensure the Brussels sprouts are cooked through but not mushy?

A: The key is to start with fresh, firm sprouts. Trimming the ends and removing any loose outer leaves helps them cook more evenly. The grilling process itself, especially with the beef bacon fat rendering, helps them become tender on the inside while developing a delightful crispy exterior. Keep an eye on them during the last few minutes of grilling to achieve your desired level of doneness.
