Arugula Steak with Garlic Mint Marinade and Plantain Chip Side

I really enjoy cooking, but I hate following recipes! It's what makes cooking exciting, finding out how it's going to taste, makes it more creative.

I know what your thinking, banana!! No no these are not bananas, same family and happen to look almost identical but they really taste different. There plantains and if you have never had them I suggest you try them, there great!

I made this dinner based on what I had in my fridge and it was amazing so I decided to photograph the process and share my creation.

If you do try it, I would love to hear your feedback! :)

Beef Rib Eye Steak
2.OZ of Fresh Arugula
2 Fresh Mint Stems
