There are recipes all over the web, and I don't have a favorite website to link to, but the basic run down (if you don't know) goes like this:
Steak:
Steak (they say Filet, but I use a NY Strip on the regular.
Coat liberally in cracked black pepper.
Heat pan. HOT!
Add gracious amount of butter.
Add steak. Sear. Flip and repeat.
Remove steak. Add Brandy. Deglaze. Ignite Brandy (WOOSH!).
Add heavy cream. Stir till thick. return steak, flip to coat. Ready.
Bananas Foster:
Peel and cut bananans lengthwise, then on the bias widthise into 1-2" pieces.
Place a bunch of butter and brown sugar in a skillet and heat till liquidy caramel forms. Add banans, toss to coat.
Add some rum (vanilla or banana flavored works well). Ignite (WOOSH!) Burn off alcohol.
Spoon bananas over vanilla ice cream. Serve.
Like I said, that's from memory, but recipes are basically the same. They are seriously so easy, I don't even measure anything anymore. And they are always a hit (especially with my lady friend). You make the steak, maybe some garlic mashed and steamed broccoli on the side. Then after dinner, you chat with her/him from the kitchen while you whip up the Fosters (which takes abotu 8 minutes, start to finish) and bring out a bowl of that? They will be unable to resist you.
Have fun cookin'
