Brainy Simple ~ lean meat and potatoes...

 

Meat and potatoes... just good food for a sit down candlelight dinner at home.

You will need: one pork or beef tenderloin. The loin is the best cut and the best loin is lean and boneless with just a little fat on one side. Chose side dishes that you and your family will enjoy... potatoes i.e.

To begin, heat the oven to 375 (to be reduced later on to 350). Take the loin and poke holes all around. Shake sea salt on all sides and lay it down into a glass dish of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, top with generously with dried herbs: rosemary, mint and oregano.

Let it rest like that for about 15 min., while the oven heats up. Cover the loin with foil and pop in the oven at 375 for about 15-18 min. After that time, pour in 3/4 cup of beef stock, and 1/2 cup of teriyaki sauce. 

Add to that, a few handfuls of dried plums and sun dried tomatoes (from the jar is ok). Remove the foil cover and return to the oven at 350 until the meat thermometer tells you its down, just slightly pink inside, mostly white meat.



Serve with potatoes, green beans and or a salad.
