A real good and real easy beef tenderloin recipe
Ingredients
- 2 thick cut beef tenderloin steaks
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/3 cup red wine
- 1/3 cup Balsamic vinäger
- 1/2 tbsp. chopped basil or parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- If you have the time let the steaks get to room temperature. If not, don’t worry about it and charge on!
- Put a skillet on at medium high. Trim any excess fat off the steaks and put the trimmings in the skillet and smear them around to grease the pan. Salt, pepper and garlic powder both sides of the steaks and press on to the meat.

- Remove the fat from the pan and put the steaks in. Sear for 1 minute a side and remove to a plate that will catch the drippings. Add the wine, the rest ao the garlic powder and the balsamic vinegar to the pan and stir with a wooden spoon scraping the pan to get all the bits up and into the sauce. Bring it to a rapid simmer and reduce the heat to just maintain the simmer. Put the steaks back in the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes a side depending on how you like them done. You can check for doneness by poking with a finger. Real soft is rare and real firm is well done. In between is, well ,,you get it.
