"Cumin seasoned steak and bananas on the grill along with rice and black beans. Grill times are for a compression type indoor grill - like a George Foreman."

This is a very nice simple dinner with an island twist that I love. I made it exactly as written, and it was lovely, though in the future, I think I will make it a little spicier with an extra dash or two of cayenne. We love spicy. The plantains/bananas are perfect.

I am catching up on my reviews today. I can't remember when I first made this...a while back. DH hates it when I add anything to steak but he liked this seasoning. I was shocked! I used my own rice and beans recipe so I can't judge on that...the plantains are really nice on the grill...just love this and make it often, in fact, I'm making it tonight. I like to add a salad of lettuce, avocado, bacon and arugula with EVOO and white vinegar to round out the meal. Thanks for posting this keeper.
