“Flat Iron Steak Kabobs with Spicy Sweet Bourbon Glaze”

Sometimes you find ingredients in the craziest places. One day while shopping in our local mall I saw a store that just seemed to be calling my name. The store was called Pepper Palace. I thought Pepper Place and what is that? It was a weekday afternoon which is not the time I’m normally at the mall. However, the store was relatively busy for it not to be a weekend. Pepper Palace is filled with every hot sauce including the hottest made from Carolina peppers. Barbecue sauce, glazes, rubs, seasonings, salsas and everything in between fill their shelves. Most of all, you can taste most everything they sell. This place is a cooks dream especially if you’re the adventurous type like me. I went home and created a recipe from a glaze I found that day, Flat Iron Steak Kabobs with Spicy Sweet Bourbon Glaze.

I’d say these babies are a meat treat on a stick. Pepper Palace’s Spicy Sweet Bourbon Glaze is highly recommended for all meats, poultry and seafood. The glaze is a sweet heat produced from cayenne pepper used which pops up at the end and not a constant heat. Even if you’re not a fan of spicy, I think you’ll fall in love with this glaze. They also make a non-spicy flavor for those faint of heart but don’t be afraid as I wouldn’t steer you wrong. My kitchen is never without during grilling season for quick weeknight meal prep. You taste bourbon, molasses and soy sauce which are prominent robust flavors.

A butcher at a market I shop at regularly told me to try making kabobs using flat iron steak.

Heat and clean grill according to manufacturer’s instructions and reduce heat to 400 degrees.

Grill kabobs 2 minutes per side, about 8 – 10 minutes or until desired doneness. Do not overcook as smaller beef cubes will not take as long.
