Bacon Wrapped Steak Poppers

Bacon wrapped steak poppers on the Yoder Smokers YS640S pellet grill are a great option when you want to change-up the chicken poppers we all know and love. Think bold, savory steak and sweet, fiery bacon with smoky cream cheese, thanks to the perfect seasoning blend between the two R Butts R Smokin’ rubs. The grilled bell peppers offer a delightful fusion of sweetness and smokiness as their natural sugars caramelize, resulting in a slightly charred exterior and a tender, juicy interior bite. New fave incoming!
