 Steak & Potato Kebabs

Get your steak and potatoes on skewers with a creamy cilantro sauce. The editors at Eating Well magazine limit the fat to under 9 grams with this keeper. Serve with a green salad and Spanish rice, they suggest.

Steak & Potato Kebabs With Creamy Cilantro Sauce

1/2 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, minced
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar or cider vinegar
2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
8 new or baby red potatoes
1 1/4 pounds strip steak, trimmed and cut into 
    1 1/2-inch pieces
2 poblano peppers or 1 large green bell pepper, cut into 
    1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 large sweet onion, cut into 1-inch chunks

Combine cilantro, vinegar, sour cream, garlic, chili powder, cumin and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Set aside.

Preheat grill to high.

Place potatoes in a microwave-safe container. Cover and microwave on high until just tender when pierced with a fork, 3 to 3 1/2 minutes.

Toss the potatoes, steak and pepper pieces with oil and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Thread the potatoes, steak, peppers and onion chunks onto 8 skewers. Grill, turning once or twice, until the steak reaches desired doneness, about 6 minutes for medium. Serve the kebabs with the reserved sauce.

Serves 4.
