Grilled Steak and Potato Kabobs with Mint Chimichurri

There are so many reasons to love summer when the world slows down and nature's abundance grows ripe on the vine. And nothing says summer to me like the smell of the grill all fired up to cook deliciously sizzling cuts of meat and vegetables that will grow sweet and tender.

Today's recipe from Cuisine at Home reflects that. Not only is this method for grilling new potatoes going to become a standard in my repertoire, the mint in the chimichurri offsets both meat and potatoes beautifully.

I hope you enjoy!

• 1 1/2 tsp lemon zest
• 2 shallots

4. Grill potatoes on medium for about 7 minutes  a side until they are golden  brown. 
5. Add beef skewers to the medium high grill, cover, and grill to desired doneness (4 minutes a side cooks them to medium)
