2 lb. round steak
Salt and pepper
1/2 c. sherry
2 tbsp. sugar
1/2 c. corn oil
1 chopped onion
1/2 c. water
4 cooking bananas (plantains)

Fry the steak in 3 tbsp. oil over high heat until both sides are well browned. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and chopped onion and pour in the wine and water. Cover tightly and simmer 45 minutes or until fork passes easily through the meat.

In another pan, heat the remaining tbsp. oil. Sprinkle in the sugar and allow to turn a golden color. Cut the bananas in half lengthwise and add to skillet. Remove from heat when bananas are well browned on both sides. Serve meat cut in portions and bathed in its own sauce with the bananas on the side.
