Ingredients for recipe
The list of ingredients are very simple and your biggest expense will be the beef tenderloin. But it's worth it! I think a little midweek splurge is good here and there.
- For the spices we'll use each chili powder, dried oregano and ground cumin, kosher salt and black pepper (more if needed to taste)
- beef tenderloin
- Avocado or vegetable oil for searing the meat and veggies
- Sliced red bell peppers, yellow bell pepper, red onion & roma tomatoes
- Minced garlic (fresh or from the jar will work)
- Then we'll finish it up with fresh cilantro leaves and a fresh lime juice
How to cook beef tenderloin
- We'll start by combining the chili powder, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper in a bowl. Add beef and toss to coat well.
- In a medium skillet (I prefer a cast iron skillet for this since it sears the meat very well!) heat the oil over medium high heat.
- Add the beef and sear 2-3 minutes. Remove beef to a plate and set aside. It's important not to overcook the beef tenderloin in order to keep it tender and juicy.
- Then we'll heat the additional 1 tablespoon oil over medium high.
- Add peppers, onion, and garlic and stir for about 2 to 3 minutes until just tender.
- Add tomatoes and beef back to skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in cilantro.
- Serve over cooked rice with lime wedges.
This is a restaurant quality meal that you can complete in less than 30 minutes! Seriously, it can't get better than that!
