Beef Tenderloin


We both still have the last shreds of flu, this one really hangs on.  I wanted red meat but didn't want to work for it so I splurged and bought beef tenderloin. Broccoli and carrots with mashed potatoes round out the plate.  I steamed the vegetables, ran them under cold water and finished them in  xv olive oil on medium low heat. Mashed potatoes had salt, butter and milk. I seasoned the steaks with salt and black pepper and cooked them in a frying pan, about 4 minutes per side. Simple fast and delicious if a little pricier than usual.
