Subject courtesy of Himself; I'm not quite that blunt when naming things.)While trying to come up with something savory to do with beef for dinner, Himself struck upon wrapping seasoned steak in bacon. Will update later with how it came out on the grill.

Bacon says: "You can put me on a sandwich!"
Steak says: "Sssss".
[Steak is being cooked]
Am unloading and preparing pictures now -- Himself put the meat on over higher heat than I expected him to and when the bacon fat hit the diffuser plate over the gas nozzles (we have a tabletop gas grill), there was flamage high enough to be seen over the windbreak-thing blocking our view of Redneck Car Garage next door and we heard him curse when he saw it.
The higher heat pretty much minimized the bacon flavor, but it was still damn tasty. We'll work out the recipe to post tonight.

Cut flank steak into 1" strips.
Lay steak-strips on bacon (laid one or two lengthwise per steak. Depending on how long your steak-strip is. I think mom usually does one, but I seem to remember there occasoinally being two).
[OPTIONAL: Dust steak with powdered garlic. Or you could probably use diced. Or, hell, cloves, too, probably. The key here is not a lot, so probably the former would be best.]
Put onion pieces on steak [and garlic] (NOTE: Even if you're not a fan of Onion, I recommend putting the onion in anyway, and cooking it, and then just not eating the onions. Sorta like with a bay leaf. But if you like onions, Rock On and Eat The Fuck Outta Those Sumbitches.)
Roll up (like a spiral!) and hold the spirals of meat/onion[/garlic] together by jamming bamboo skewers through (they're long, so use one per steak, jam the skewer in, then cut off the excess and jam the excess through the other way, so you've got an X of stick through meat/onion[/garlic].). Apparently you can get these at the store. I think I've seen them, but I don't know where. Try the stick section of your local grocery store.
Put the steaks on a rack in a baking pan.
Bake 1/2 hour at 350.
Remove from the oven, put BBQ sauce on both sides.
Bake another 1/2 hour at 350.
Remove from oven, put on plates with side dishes (or don't), remove sticks, eat.

I have added editorial commentary where necessary. Or rather not.
I think I'm gonna post this in my LJ, too. cause these rule. If a vegetarian has these they will wish to their god above that they hadn't given up that delicious, delicious beast men call cow.
Melissa most definitely post that! Sounds heavenly... I think I'm gonna go get some steak today!
