Ingredients

• 1 bag coleslaw vegetable mix
• 3 green onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoon cider vinegar
• 4 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper
• pinch granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon each ground allspice, and coriander
• 2 strip loin grilling steaks, (each about 340 g), trimmed and halved crosswise
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon rum, optional
• 2 ripe plantains, peeled and thickly sliced

Preparation

Step 1

In large bowl, combine coleslaw mix, green onions, cider vinegar, oil, half each of the salt and pepper, and the granulated sugar; set aside.

In small bowl, stir together thyme, allspice, coriander and remaining salt and pepper; rub all over steaks. Place on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until medium-rare, about 8 minutes.

Transfer to plate; keep warm. Meanwhile, mix together butter, brown sugar and rum (if using); brush all over plantains to coat. Arrange plantains on greased grill; close lid and grill, brushing with any remaining butter mixture and turning once, until golden and tender, about 6 minutes. Serve with steaks and coleslaw.
