Instructions:
1. Prepare the Brussels Sprouts:
Start by getting your Brussels sprouts ready for their delicious makeover. Begin extract by trimming off the dry, woody ends of each sprout. Then, carefully peel away any discolored or wilted outer leaves. For the best results, you’ll want to halve each Brussels sprout lengthwise. This not only helps them cook more evenly but also creates a larger surface area for that glorious beef bacon to adhere to. If you have any particularly large sprouts, you can quarter them to ensure they cook through at the same rate as the smaller ones. Give them a good rinse under cold water and pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels. This drying step is crucial, as it will help them crisp up beautifully on the grill and prevent them from steaming in their own moisture.
2. Create the Flavorful Marinade:
Now, let’s whip up a simple yet impactful marinade that will infuse our Brussels sprouts with tons of flavor. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the 1 Tbsp of olive oil, 1/3 cup of low-sodium soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder. Whisk these ingredients together until they are well combined. The olive oil will help distribute the flavors, the soy sauce provides a salty umami base, and the pepper and garlic powder add those essential aromatic notes. This marinade is light enough not to overpower the sprouts but potent enough to make a real difference.
3. Marinate and Coat the Sprouts:
Add the halved Brussels sprouts to the bowl with the marinade. Gently toss them around, making sure each sprout is evenly coated. Let them sit in the marinade for at least 15-20 minutes. This allows the flavors to start penetrating the vegetables, giving them a head start on deliciousness. While the sprouts are marinating, you can move on to the next step. This marination time is important for maximizing flavor, so don’t skip it! You can even let them marinate for a little longer if you have the time – up to an hour is perfectly fine.
4. Wrap the Sprouts with Beef Beef Bacon:
This is where the magic truly happens! Take your 8 slices of beef beef bacon. You’ll want to cut each slice in half lengthwise. This will give you 16 pieces of beef bacon, perfect for wrapping around each of your 16 Brussels sprout halves. Carefully take one halved Brussels sprout and wrap one piece of the halved beef beef bacon around its middle, securing it in place. The beef bacon should wrap snugly around the sprout. If the beef bacon is having trouble staying put, you can use a toothpick to secure it, but often, a good snug wrap is all you need. Make sure the beef bacon covers a good portion of the sprout, as it will shrink and crisp up as it cooks. Repeat this process for all of your Brussels sprouts and beef bacon pieces.
5. Grill to Perfection:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. You’ll want to ensure the grill grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking. Once the grill is hot, carefully arrange the beef beef bacon-wrapped Brussels sprouts directly on the grill grates. You’ll want to place them cut-side down initially if possible, to get a nice sear. Grill the sprouts for about 10-15 minutes, turning them every few minutes with tongs. You’re looking for the Brussels sprouts to become tender and slightly charred, and the beef beef bacon to be crispy and browned. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, especially the beef bacon. The exact cooking time will depend on the heat of your grill and the size of your sprouts, so visual cues are your best friend here. The aroma alone will tell you they’re getting close to perfection! The goal is that beautiful crispy beef bacon and tender, flavorful sprout.
6. Rest and Serve:
Once the Brussels sprouts are beautifully grilled, with the beef bacon wonderfully crisp and the sprouts tender, remove them from the grill. Let them rest on a platter for a minute or two. This allows the flavors to meld and makes them easier to handle. Serve these Grilled Beef Beef Beef Beef Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts immediately while they are warm and irresistible. They make a fantastic appetizer or a delightful side dish. Enjoy the explosion of smoky, savory, and slightly sweet flavors!

Frequently Asked Questions:
What kind of beef beef bacon is best for this recipe?
Any good quality beef beef bacon will work wonderfully. Look for slices that are not too thick, so they crisp up nicely without burning before the Brussels sprouts are tender. You can often find it at specialty butcher shops or larger grocery stores.
Can I make these indoors if I don’t have a grill?
Absolutely! You can achieve a similar smoky flavor and crispiness by baking them in the oven. Arrange them on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until the beef bacon is crisp and the sprouts are tender, flipping halfway through.
Are there any vegetarian or vegan alternatives?
For a vegetarian option, you could try wrapping the Brussels sprouts in thinly sliced halloumi cheese or a smoky vegan beef bacon alternative. The flavor profile will change, but you can still achieve a delicious result!
