Ingredients

Beef:

1-2 Favorite Steaks
2 tbsp Cowboy Candy Rub
Neutral Oil as needed

Jalapeno Bacon Jam:

6-8 slices Bacon sliced
2 cups Red Onions diced
1 medium Jalapeno sliced
2 tbsp Cowboy Candy Rub
2 tbsp Maple Syrup
1.5 tbsp Brown Sugar

Instructions

Jalapeno Bacon Jam:

Preheat your grill to medium high heat (about 350F) for direct cooking. Add a cast iron skillet to the grill 2 minutes before cooking.
Add your sliced bacon to the skillet and cook to your desired crispiness. Pull off and then pour out most of the excess bacon fat. Leave some of the fat for sautéing the onions and jalapeños.
Then add your thinly sliced onions and jalapeños. Season the onions with my Cowboy Candy Rub and begin cooking on a medium heat until they are caramelized (dark brown). This should take about 45-60 minutes to achieve.
Add brown sugar half way through to deepen the color. When the onions are close to done, add in the maple syrup and crumbled bacon. Roll together and pull off.

Steak:

Slather your steak in oil and generously season with my Cowboy Candy rub. Set to the side.
Preheat your fire to 400F for direct cooking.
Add your steak to cook for about 5-8 minutes per side or until 120F internal. Pull off once done, and let rest for 10 minutes.
Top with the Cowboy Candy Bacon Jam, slice and serve!
