1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1- inch pieces
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoons ground black pepper

1/2 cup water
1/4 cup bourbon or apple cider
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons molasses
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Instructions
Soak twenty-four 6-inch bamboo skewers in water 10 minutes; drain.
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.
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.
