Ingredients

  • 4 (6 oz) boneless beef sirloin steaks, cut 1 inch thick

  • 4 ripe bananas, peeled and halved
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season both sides of the steaks with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add steaks and cook for 4 minutes per side or to desired doneness. Remove from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  3. In the same skillet, add bananas cut side down and cook until caramelized, about 2 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
