Main ingredient: beef tenderloin
Pairs well with: toasted bread
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef tenderloin steaks, cut into 4 medallions
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
- 2 teaspoons butter
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup sliced sweet and hot peppers
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- ½ cup white wine
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 cup tomato concassé (peeled, seeded, and finely chopped tomato)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
Method
- Season the steak medallions with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the steaks and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate, leaving the oil in the skillet.
- Add the mushrooms and butter to the skillet with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until softened and beginning to brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Lower the heat to medium, add the peppers, and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the wine, sprinkle in the dried oregano, raise the heat to medium-high, and cook until the wine is nearly evaporated, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato concassé and simmer until the tomato softens, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the fresh oregano, balsamic vinegar, and red pepper flakes, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Return the steaks to the skillet and cook in the sauce until warmed through and done to your liking, 4 to 10 minutes. Serve on top of toasted bread with mozzarella cheese.
