Ok, so I refuse to go shopping on Black Friday...sort of, I ended up having to go to the grocery store on Black Friday and low and behold the beef was on BIG time sale! I was just going to get some stew meat or fajita meat to make some sort of beef dinner, but the Beef Tenderloin was on sale, I got 3 steaks (about 2" thick each for 1.05lbs) for $12 - I know that is sooooo expensive, but it would have normally cost me $18, so it was a good deal.
You really can't mess up tenderloins (unless you put them in a stew or something stupid like that... : D) No, I didn't use it for stew : D.
What I did...was heat up a grill pan on the stove (the ones with the lines on it, so it looks like you grilled it)...spray it with Pam, and heat it up on med on the stove for 4min. Then, sprinkle the meat with McCormick Garlic Perfect Pinch on both sides. Cook them on for 7-8 min. on one side then turn them and cook them on the other side for 7-8 min. to get them to mediumish. If you like rare to med rare cook them for 5min on each side...for well, you need to cut them in half (longways to make them only 1" thick) and cook them 5 - 7 min on each side too. This way you can cook them all together.
The outside is seared and the inside is pinkish/ red, but not bloody - yay!!! It was like Outback Steakhouse in my house tonight! We also had steamed Normandy Blend veggies (califlour, broccali, squash, zuccini and carrots) with a side salad and yeast rolls (store bought, but still yummy!)
Sorry didn't take any pics, didn't think it would come out this good - next time, definately pics! : D.
