Steps

Heat up a skillet over medium-high heat and add butter to it.
Add beef to the pan and cook until it reaches your desired degree of doneness.
Slice the banana and add it to the pan. Fry until the banana becomes slightly caramelized.
Pour the coffee over the steak and banana. Cook until the liquid reduces and forms a glaze that coated the steak and bananas.
Serve the banana steak warm. Enjoy!

Tips for Banana Beef Steak

The banana should look golden at the edges and hold its shape; cooking it too long can make it collapse into the glaze.
Use a small skillet so the coffee glaze can coat the steak and banana rather than spreading thinly over a wide pan.
A quick-read thermometer can help you judge beef doneness; let the steak rest briefly before serving for a juicier texture.
