Ingredients

    Skewers

    • 12 oz sirloin steak, cut into 1½-inch cubes
    • 10–12 baby potatoes
    • 3 strips thick-cut bacon
    • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1½-inch pieces
    • ½ red onion, cut into petals
    • 2 Tbsp olive oil
    • 1½ Tbsp Spiceology Cowboy Campfire Seasoning
    • ½ tsp kosher salt, optional
    • ¼ tsp black pepper
    • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
    • 1 Tbsp chives, thinly sliced, divided
    • 4 wooden or metal skewers

    Loaded Sour Cream Drizzle

    • ¼ cup sour cream
    • 1–2 Tbsp buttermilk or milk
    • ½ tsp Cowboy Campfire Seasoning
    • ½ tsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar

    Directions

    1. If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least 30 minutes.
    2. Place the baby potatoes in a pot, cover with cold salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook until just fork-tender, about 10–12 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly. Halve any larger potatoes; leave small ones whole.
    3. Cut the bacon into 1½-inch pieces. Cook in a skillet over medium heat until some fat renders but the bacon is still flexible, about 3–4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
    4. Meanwhile, whisk together the sour cream, buttermilk, ½ tsp Cowboy Campfire Seasoning, lemon juice or vinegar, and 1 tsp of the chives until drizzleable. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
    5. Combine the steak, potatoes, bell pepper, and onion in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, 1½ Tbsp Cowboy Campfire Seasoning, salt (if using), and black pepper, and toss until evenly coated.
    6. Thread the steak, potatoes, bacon, bell pepper, and onion onto the skewers, alternating as you go.
    7. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers 8–10 minutes total, turning every 2–3 minutes, until the steak is charred and cooked to your liking (about 130–135°F internal temperature for medium-rare).
    8. Sprinkle the skewers with the shredded cheddar and close the grill lid for about 1 minute, until melted.
    9. Transfer the skewers to a platter and drizzle with the sauce. Finish with the remaining 2 tsp chives and a light dusting of Cowboy Campfire Seasoning.
