Directions

  1. Whisk together olive oil, garlic, cumin, coriander and chili powder in medium sized bowl. Add steak to the bowl and toss to coat. Cover and marinate at least 2 hours, up to overnight.
  2. Combine red peppers, walnuts, garlic, vinegar, sour cream, olive oil, and salt in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until service.
  3. Place 4-5 pieces of steak on a wooden skewer and repeat with remaining steak. Season each skewer with salt on all sides.
  4. Preheat an Anolon® Advanced Bronze 11-inch Deep Square Grill Pan, over moderately high heat. Cook 3-4 kabobs at a time, about 4-5 minutes total, flipping ¼ turn after each minute (for medium rare). Remove from pan and allow to rest 5 minutes before serving.
  5. Serve kabobs with roasted red pepper pesto.
