Direction for Steak Sandwich
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp butter over medium-high heat. Cook the peppers, onions, and mushrooms until tender. Remove the veggies from the pan.
- Add 2 tbsp butter to the pan. When butter has melted, add strips of steak to the pan. Allow meat to cook for a few minutes on both sides until browned. When meat is almost done, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Stir in Worcestershire Sauce, tabasco sauce, balsamic vinegar, and 2 tbsp of butter. Allow sauce to cook for a few minutes and reduce a bit. Stir back veggies, then remove the meat and veggie mix.
- Using a griddle or a non-stick pan, heat the last tbsp of butter. Slice the rolls in half then face down to toast on both sides. Place cheese on each bun. Top with meat and veggie mix, then pour some of the pan sauce over the meat.
Directions for Plantains
- Peel the plantains by making a vertical cut through the skin and peeling it back with your hands or the edge of a spoon.
- Cut the plantains in 1-inch thick pieces. Coat a frying pan with oil on medium high heat.
- Fry the plantains in batches. When the plantains are starting to turn light brown, remove from the oil and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels. Smash each piece with the back of a wooden spoon. Return to pan to fry until golden brown and crispy. Transfer back to paper towels to drain excess oil.

Grilled Beef Shiskabobs!
Ingredients
1 pound beef sirloin, top sirloin, or filet
1 medium onion
1 green pepper
10 large white mushrooms
1 red pepper (optional)
2/3 cup dry red wine, burgundy or pinot noir
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
If you are using bamboo skewers, start by submerging them in water using a dish or a paper towel to hold them underwater. Let them soak for 30 minutes. We use double skewers as it makes it easier to turn without having the ingredients spin on the skewer. You can use two bamboo skewers or buy some double prong skewers.
Make the marinade. In a stainless or glass bowl large enough to hold the meat, add the wine, salt, sugar, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix the marinade.
Cube it. Cut the steak into 1 inch to 1 1/2 inch cubes. Add the cubes to the marinade bowl. Let it rest for 2 hours in the fridge. Then remove it from the refrigerator and let it come back to room temperature like we did in the filet mignon recipe. Let it sit at room temp for about 30 minutes.
Cut the onion in half and then cut each half into quarters. Cut the green pepper open and clean out the seeds. Cut the pepper into 1 inch squares (or close to square as you can). You can leave the mushrooms whole, but for larger mushrooms, we recommend you cut them in half. Optionally you can marinade the veggies in Italian dressing.
Skewer. Alternate between onions and peppers, as they add great flavor to the meat while cooking. We also throw the mushrooms in every now and then. The onion, peppers and meat play well with the mushrooms. It's nice to see the meat and vegetables getting along so well.
After assembling the kabobs, brush some oil on the skewered meat and veggies at this point, to keep them from sticking.
Prep the grill. If using gas, heat the grill on high for 10 minutes prior to cooking. If cooking on coals, it is best to use natural hardwood charcoal. Add enough coals to cook over a high heat for 10 to 15 minutes.
Grill 'em! Place the kabobs on the hot grill directly over the flame or coals. Keep the lid open since we are cooking on direct heat. Grill for 10 to 12 minutes, rotating 90 degrees every 4 minutes, until the meat is cooked to desired level of doneness. Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 3 or 4 minutes before serving.
