Preparation

Step 1

In large bowl, combine coleslaw mix, green onions, cider vinegar, oil, half each of the salt and pepper, and the granulated sugar; set aside.

In small bowl, stir together thyme, allspice, coriander and remaining salt and pepper; rub all over steaks. Place on greased grill over medium-high heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until medium-rare, about 8 minutes.

Transfer to plate; keep warm. Meanwhile, mix together butter, brown sugar and rum (if using); brush all over plantains to coat. Arrange plantains on greased grill; close lid and grill, brushing with any remaining butter mixture and turning once, until golden and tender, about 6 minutes. Serve with steaks and coleslaw.
