2. Meanwhile, for Avocado Sauce, in food processor combine avocado,
cucumber, mint, sour cream, lime juice, 1 tablespoon water, the
1 teaspoon salt, and cumin. Cover and process until nearly smooth,
stopping to scrape sides as necessary. Transfer to serving bowl.

3. Thread meat on skewers, leaving 1/4 inch between pieces. For charcoal
grill, place steaks on rack directly over medium coals. Cover and grill
10 to 12 minutes for medium rare (145 degrees F), turning to brown evenly.
(For gas grill, preheat grill. Grill as directed above.) Serve steaks
with Avocado Sauce and Grilled Peppers and Onions. Sprinkle fresh mint.

Grilled Peppers and Onions:
Brush whole peppers and onion slices with oil. Cover and grill directly
over hot coals, 8 minutes or until tender, turning occasionally.

Test Kitchen Tip:
Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes before using.
