Steak Fajita Kebabs with Cilantro Pesto

This is one of those meals that is a new favorite in our house...like both TJ and I absolutely loved it...that's a rarity!!!  While overall this meal looks a bit labor intensive the whole thing actually only takes about 30 minutes to whip up.  So many flavors and the meal becomes incredibly cohesive!!  The absolute perfect summer evening supper!!

1 cup fresh cilantro leave, chopped
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
3 tbsp. olive oil

1 1/4 lbs steak (I use chuck or top sirloin...nothing fancy)
32 cherry tomatoes
1 red onion cut into large pieces
3 peppers, cut into large pieces

Toppings and Sides
This meal pairs perfectly atop of some cilantro lime rice,  with a sprinkle of pico de gallo, and queso fresco cheese.  You certainly can eat the kebabs as is...but with the above items it becomes magical!!!

In the food processor, pulse cilantro, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese until smooth.    Put the pesto into a large ziplock bag along with the steak cubes.  Seal and refrigerate for at least an hour to marinate.

While marinating, soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.  Assemble the skewers by skewering on the onions, peppers, steak, and tomatoes.  Add the skewers to the grill and cook for 10 minutes or so, or until your steak is cooked to your preferred level of doneness.  We usually grill for 7-10 minutes and they are a perfect medium rare.  Enjoy!!
