Name: Grilled Steak and Potatoes with Charmoula Sauce
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: Makes 6 servings
Ingredients: 2 pounds medium Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed well and quartered lengthwise; 6 bottled whole roasted peppers (about 8 ounces), rinsed and patted dry; 2 pounds flank steak (1 inch thick); 2 garlic cloves; 2 cups packed cilantro sprigs; 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice; 2 teaspoons ground cumin; 2 teaspoons paprika (not hot); 1/2 teaspoon hot red-pepper flakes; 1/2 cup olive oil

The timeless combination of steak and potatoes gets extra pep from jarred roasted peppers and aromatic charmoula, an herb and spice blend typically used in North Africa as an instant flavor booster for grilled meats and fish.

Cooks' note:

Steak can be grilled in an oiled hot 2-burner grill pan, turning once, 12 to 15 minutes total for medium-rare.
