Naturally Sweet Veggies & Diced Tenderloin in Garlic and Wine :p
Hey, foodies in the hive!
I hope your weekend is going great 😁
So nice when you eat something you love ❤️ I really like having lots of vegetables at every meal and even more so when I can have a combination of raw and cooked, and if there's some fruit invloved, much better. How about you?
A couple of weeks ago, I sweetened these same vegetables with a red apple. Among the recipes that came to my mind, I thought it'd be delicious with some meat in red wine, and since this week I bought a piece of tenderloin at the supermarket, I didn't want to miss the opportunity. Good thing I didn't.
INGREDIENTS
This is a simple dish that smells and tastes like it wasn't, one of those that make you feel that your hot food came straight from some nice restaurant nearby 😋
For 2-3 people:
Veggies:
1 medium size red apple
1 cup julienned onion
150 gr green beans
150 gr carrot
salt to taste
enough olive oil to grease the wok
Tenderloin:
300 gr tenderloin
2 tablespoons freshly crushed garlic
1/2 red wine (I used La Sagrada Familia red cooking wine)
salt to taste
THE PROCESS
Naturally Sweet Veggies
First, I wash the vegetables well. Then cut the onion widthwise into half rings about 2 millimeters wide. Next, I peeled the apple and cored it, cut it into four quarters and sliced them thinly, about the same width as the onion. The green bean pods were tender, so I left them whole but removed the strings anyway because they're always hard. The onion and apple went frst into the hot wok, which I greased with a tiny little olive oil.
When the onion and apple began to brown, I added the green beans...
...and a little salt.
I stirred and let it cook for a minute over medium fire. I could've eaten this just as it was; the smell was sweet and delicious.
It was then time for the carrot juliennes.
These ones cooked for a couple of minutes over medium fire, too.
I cut a 300 gr piece of tenderloin with some fat--the dish called for some of that--, cut it into cubes of about 2.5 cm and seasoned it with freshly crushed garlic, cooking wine and salt.
To do this, I poured the wine into the mortar to help all the crushed garlic come out and poured the mixture over the meat.
Then I stirred it a little to season the meat evenly.
At this point, I had to take the veggies out of the hot wok in order to use it to cook the meat.
I placed the cooked vegetables on a plate and opened a space in the middle to put the meat, which would be done in 5 minutes or so.
Meat into the hot wok! It delazed the pan, which created a nice and thick sauce, very little in the end but really tasty.
The meat was done in no time.
I placed in the middle of the plate.
And just as I liked it, I served it alnog with some raw salad: Romaine lettuce, avocado, red onion, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
It really was a nice meal, and very satisfying!
I'm telling you, carrot, green beans, onion, red apple. Wow! It shopuld be a classic. I think I'm adding sesame seeds next time in case I serve it alone or with chicken breast. I'm still thinking about how I should cook fish to serve with these sweet veggies.
Any ideas?
Bon appetite!
