Beefy Bite Appetizers

NibbleMeThis

I had some milanesa style beef that I needed to use last night, which is a thin sliced sirloin.



I took a slice and cut it into about 1 inch widths. I topped each slice with a cooked Crispy Crown (kind of like a tater tot from Ore Ida). I tried a few different variations: plain, cheese, sweet pickled jalapeno, and steak sauce.



I rolled them up and impaled each with a toothpick. Seasoned them with Dizzy Pig Cowlick.



For the first batch, I tried cooking them on the griddle insert of my cast iron grate (Last weekend to enter the Cast Iron Grate Giveaway on my blog!)



450f for 1-2 minutes per side. This did the top and bottom excellent but the sides weren't done all the way so I had to roll them.

Next I tried them direct.



Again, 450f for 1-2 minutes per side. This worked much better.



The final decision was that a mix of the sweet pickled jalapeno and cheddar cheese was the preferred combination.

These Beefy Bites are fun because you can mix up the flavors any way you like.

Thanks Ray! It was the third night in a row using milanesa steak so I HAD to come up with something different!

I was thinking it was original but then my wife mentioned bacon wrapped tater tots :pinch:
