Notes
Tips and Techniques for the Best Bacon Wrapped Barbecue Beef Bites
- Use a tender cut of beef for the best results. The most tender cuts of beef come from the tenderloin, but are typically the most expensive – think filet mignon. Other tender cuts are flat iron, New York strip, porterhouse, and T-bone.
- To make this recipe low carb and keto-friendly, choose a low or sugar free barbecue sauce. I use G Hughes brand.
- Store leftover beef bites in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Use within 3-4 days.
