Wonderful! So flavorful. I actually made this a few weeks back and my fiance keeps asking to make it again. First time I made fresh collards on my own and they were great. I will surely make this recipe again soon, don't think I have a choice ; Thanks Aaron! You have the tastiest recipes on food network!

Was only looking for a sauteed collard green recipe and found this one ! So good, so fast , will absolutely do again ! I have to agree with some of the reviews, Aaron cooks food you want to eat, good, good food that you can not wait to try ! However Food Network, I think you have done him wrong in placing him on the time schedule that you have. People want to enjoy his food and his show and it is almost like you won't put him even near a time spot when he might get more reviews !

This is my go-to collard "starter" : I have a tendency to adjust as I'm cooking but this base is great. I love that sauteing the greens allows them to keep some of their crispness and bitterness. I typically to throw in some garlic and crumbled bacon and love to serve it alongside some country fried steak. Good southern cooking.

This was hands down THE BEST recipe I have ever made!
My husband and I made this right after watching the finale of The Next Food Network star as a "inside date night receipe" in effort to treat ourselves at home...and oh boy did we ever! The steak is so easy, affordable and incredibly flavorful! It was my first time ever having plaintains and collard greens so much to my delight I fell head over heels in love with both! I have recommended this recipe to so many people that I am now being asked to make copies! Thank you Aaron McCargo Jr.!!

I just made this for a small dinner party of four and I got nothing but compliments. In fact, if I had to rate just the steak with no changes at all, I would give it 10 stars. It was juicy, sweet, and spicy! One guest said it's the best steak they ever had :- I have only tried plantains once before and it was the last because I thought they had very little flavor, but these were awesome! I used 4 plaintains sliced in oval shapes and the same exact amount of the rest of the recipe and it worked out great. Where I had a major problem was the collard greens. They just lacked flavor and still had a very bitter taste. So I added two cloves of garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, hotsauce, soy sauce, lots of red pepper flakes(I love spicy food, and apple cider vinager. Then I let it simmer covered for about 3 0 min. With all the changes I made I would definitely give it 5 stars!

This recipe is one of his best! The Jerk seasoning goes great on any type of meat.

I was really excited about this recipe becuase I usually LOVE Aaron's recipes but I really didn't care for the way this tasted. I think the sugar, allspice, and ground cloves were entirely too strong. It gave the meat a strange flavor.

I rarely follow a recipe to the tee, but pretty much did with this one. I used 1/3 less crushed red pepper to make sure I didn't burn my daughter's mouth. The seasoning was perfect and surprising subtle - I feared it would be overpowering, but it was not at all. 1st time I had plantains - they were great! Watch 'em though, they brown fast. I think that Aaron may be the best thing to come to the Food Network for the intermediate home cook. His recipes are simple and to the point and have an emphasis on flavor. Not to mention he cooks food you really want to eat! And he explains how to do it really well. Nearly every dish he does makes me think, "Man I really want to eat that! And I could easily make it myself!"

I have been wanting to try this recipe since seeing it on the finale and finally got around to making it today. Unfortunately, we didn't care for it as much as we thought we would. We felt that the seasoning mix on the Rib-eye wasn't savory or spicy enough and that it needed more salt. I don't think we'd make the steak again, but the collards were very good and the plantains were exceptional. I will definitely be making the plantains over and over again.

This recipe is easy to follow and the taste is fabulous. I have made it half a dozen times since seeing it on the finale.
