Steak, Bell Pepper & Apricot Skewers with Creamy Cucumber-Mint SaladSteak, Bell Pepper & Apricot Skewers with Creamy Cucumber-Mint Salad — a 45-minute dinner recipe with 11 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

36 dried apricots

1 ½ English cucumbers

1 small pkg fresh mint

1 ½ cups plain Greek yogurt

3 red bell peppers

1 ½ medium red onions

1.02 kg striploin (New York strip) steak

cumin, ground

extra virgin olive oil

paprika

salt

Instructions

If using wooden skewers, place 12-18 skewers in a shallow dish of water to soak until you are ready to use them.

Place yogurt, oil, and spices in a large bowl; whisk to combine the marinade.

Cut steak into 1-inch cubes, add to the bowl with the marinade along with the apricots and stir to coat; set aside.

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Pick mint leaves off the stems; discard stems and, using a clean cutting board, mince the leaves. Place half in a medium bowl (reserving the rest for garnish).

Add yogurt, oil, and salt to the bowl with the mint and whisk to combine the dressing.

Trim, halve, and slice cucumbers crosswise into thin half-moons; add to the bowl with the dressing and stir to combine the salad. Set aside.

Peel, halve, and cut onions into 1½-inch wide pieces. Trim, seed, and cut bell peppers into 1½-inch pieces. Add both to the bowl with the steak and apricots; stir to coat.

Thread steak, apricots, onion, and bell pepper onto skewers, alternating ingredients; place on a plate. (If you don't have skewers, you can cook the steak, apricots, and veggies directly on the grill pan.)

Preheat a grill pan or regular skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the grill pan is hot, coat with oil; working in batches if necessary, add the skewers and cook, turning occasionally, until the steak is cooked through and veggies are fork-tender, 8-10 minutes. Remove to a clean plate.

To serve, divide skewers and salad between plates; sprinkle with reserved mint and enjoy!
