Beef Teriyaki with grilled Bananas

Continuing on the experiment in cooking with fruits, I bought some bananas today. Never been a fan of bananas, esp when it comes to anything with banana essence. Blech! However, I thought of how people bake bananas (eg banana bread, toffee banana) and an idea struck. The outcome - the pleasant taste of roasted bananas, caramelised and brown on the outside, warm and soft on the inside!

Ingredients
2 beef steaks
2 tsbp dark soya sauce
1 tbsp light soya sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp sherry/Japanese mirin (cooking wine) if you have it. I use Chinese rice wine, works just as well
freshly milled pepper
1 banana, sliced into thick chunks
Vegetables that can be roasted or grilled e.g. capsicums

Method
1) To make the teriyaki sauce, pour together the soya sauces, wine and brown sugar into a bowl. Microwave for 15 seconds until sugar dissolves.
2) Steep the beef in the mixture and leave to marinate. Add pepper.
3) Grease a baking dish and lay the beef and vegetables on top. Grill on high heat.
4) Put the vegetables and banana into the leftover marinate.
5) Halfway thru the grilling time, add the vegetables and banana and turn the meat over.
6) Serve.
