Get out the grill for easy potato and beef kebabs

Caesar beef kebabs are a hearty combination of meat and potatoes lined up on skewers.

Noncreamy Caesar dressing give a pleasant finish to the dish and the grill does its usual magic to bring out flavor and aroma. The potatoes are microwaved briefly before skewering to make sure they cook through.

Caesar beef kebabs

4small new potatoes (about 1/2 pound), cut into quarters

1pound boneless beef top sirloin steak, cut 1 inch thick

1medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

1small onion, cut into 1-inch pieces

1/2cup prepared noncreamy Caesar dressing

Place potatoes in an 8-by-8-inch microwave-safe dish; cover with vented plastic wrap. Microwave on high 4 to 7 minutes or until potatoes are just tender, stirring once. Cool slightly.

Cut beef steak into 11/4-inch pieces. Combine beef, potatoes, bell pepper and onion in large bowl. Drizzle with all but 2 tablespoons of the dressing; toss to coat. Thread beef and vegetables, alternating items, onto eight 9-inch metal skewers.

Grill, uncovered, about 10 to 12 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness, over medium heat, turning occasionally. Season with salt and pepper, as desired. Drizzle kebabs with remaining 2 tablespoons dressing before serving.
