Provided by EatingWell.com
 
Steak kebabs get a Southwestern spin with poblano peppers and a creamy sauce spiked with cilantro, chile powder, cumin and vinegar. The potatoes are partially cooked in the microwave before putting them on the grill so they’re done at the same time as faster-cooking steak, peppers and onions. Serve with: Green salad and Spanish rice.

1/4 cup packed fresh cilantro leaves, minced
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar, or cider vinegar
