"This comes from Eatingwell.com and is one of our all-time favorite Kebab recipes. The sauce is so good I've even drizzled it over salad so you may want to double it. Adapted slightly to suit our tastes and for ease of preparation and cooking. Prep and cooking times are approximate."

Step 1

Soak 12-16 bamboo skewers in water for at least 10 minutes.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Preheat grill to high.

Step 4

While grill is heating, place potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl and cover. Cook on high until just tender when pierced with a fork, approximately 3 minutes.

Step 5

When potatoes are done, toss them in a large bowl with steak cubes, pepper pieces, onion pieces, oil and remaining salt.

Step 6

I always thread "like" things on the same skewers due to different cooking times and I always "double" skewer. If you run a single skewer through a piece of onion or pepper it's very difficult to turn on the grill. Once the veggie starts to cook and get soft, it will just spin around the skewer so this is how I skewer when making Kebabs.

Step 7

Grab two skewers and stand both on the counter, flat side down, with a finger stuck in between for spacing. This takes some practice but it can be done. Start skewering all "like" pieces until you reach the top of the skewers. Keep repeating the process until everything is skewered.

Step 8

Grill each component until desired doneness, turning several times.

Step 9

When everything is done, remove skewers and place all grilled pieces on a serving platter and serve family style. Serve the sauce along side for dipping.
