Step 1
Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for 10 minutes. Cut 1.5 lb beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and 8 bacon slices into 1-inch pieces.
Step 2
Thread beef and bacon alternately onto the skewers, pressing snugly. Brush with 2 tbsp olive oil and season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Step 3
Grill over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until beef is browned and bacon is crisp, about 10-12 minutes. Serve hot.
Step 4
If using a grill pan, cook in batches to avoid crowding; the kebabs should sizzle, not steam.
