Beef Tenderloin Salpicao


I have to be honest to you guys, I didn't cook this today but I'm posting this because my friend requested for the recipe so I figured I might as well share to everyone too.  I will post what I ate for dinner today in my next blog.  =)

Here's how I prepare my Beef Tenderloin Salpicao:

If you're cooking for 2 people, you'll need.....

1/2 kilo beef tenderloin or rib-eye (cubed in 2"x 2")
lots and lots of minced garlic (I use an Ikea chopper....makes my life much easier)
EVOO
1 tbsp. brown sugar
your fave soy sauce....I use Coconut Brand....cheap and pretty good

Mix in the soy sauce, brown sugar and freshly cracked pepper (depends on how peppery you like it) then marinade the beef in it.  

Pour 2 tbsp. of EVOO in your stainless steel pan (I use this type of pan because it cooks the beef in a perfect way).  When oil is hot, put 1 tsp. of minced garlic, then throw in 6-8pcs of beef cubes.  Saute them maybe a for a good 2-3 mins.  Make sure to constantly stir them.  Then set aside to your serving plate.  Do this again for the 2nd batch and again until you finish all the beef.

It's best to cook this in batches so that the meat will be nicely cooked outside and still soft and tender inside.  Not over cooked.  Just perfect!  Believe me....the result will differ if you cooked all of them at once versus if you were patient in cooking them in batches.

Let me know what you think of this.  My hubby loves this and I'm confident that yours will too.
