Beef Bites with Peanut-Bourbon Sauce

Directions:

1. Soak twenty-four 6-inch bamboo skewers in water 10 minutes; drain.
2. Cut beef steak into 1-inch pieces. Alternately thread 2 beef pieces and 1 bell pepper piece evenly onto each skewer. Season beef with black pepper.
3. Combine sauce ingredients in medium saucepan, stirring until smooth. Bring just to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 12 minutes or until thickened, stirring frequently. Keep warm.
4. Meanwhile, place 1/2 of skewers on grid over medium heat of gas grill. Grill, covered, 6 to 8 minutes for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning once. Repeat with remaining skewers.
5. Serve with peanut sauce. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
