Tenderloin Steak with Baked Potatoes w/Low Fat Yogurt Dressing

Saturday, July 12, 2014



As complex as it may sound, but this is one of the easiest recipes that you can do when it comes to quick gatherings and fancy main dishes!

I am personally a carnivore and beef is my thing… while eating lots of beef, I had to work on different recipes for a change and as we all know, potatoes (Mashed, wedges, whole baked potatoes) go best with steaks. 

Best thing about tenderloin steaks is that they are extremely tender, not chewy, absorb the flavors quickly and extremely low in fat and high in protein to those who are trying to monitor their food and macronutrients intake. Now let's try the easiest/basic recipe. 


*Your ingredients should have:

*Steaks (Ingredients per  200g):
- 200g Beef Tenderloin Steaks (عرق فليتو)
- Salt
- Pepper
- 1 tsp Garlic
- 1 tsp fresh grated Ginger
- 1 tbs Worcestershire Sauce
- Cooking spray


*Potatoes:
- 200g Baby Potatoes
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil (Extra Virgin)
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic Powder
- Onion Powder
- Thymes
- Rose Mary

*Dressing:
- 1 cup low fat yogurt
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp finely chopped garlic
- Salt 
- Pepper


*Method:

- Preheat your oven on 160 degrees, wash your potatoes properly, and don't peel them. Cut them into wedges, cover them in the spices, olive oil and bake them for 40-45 mins. Don't forget to flip your potatoes after the first 20 minutes.

- Mix all the ingredients for the steak marinade and cover your steaks in it for 30 minutes in the fridge.

- Half way through baking the potatoes, turn your grill on or set your pan grill (شواية نار) to the heat and put your cooking spray on and wait till it's hot enough and put your steaks on on high heat for 1 minute then 3 minutes on medium heat for each side for Medium Doneness. Increase 2 minutes each side for anything above medium and after you remove your meat from the grill, cover them in aluminum paper for 10 minutes so it becomes really juicy just before serving.

- Mix the yogurt dressing ingredients well and get your potatoes out of the oven… put it on the plate and top it with the dressing and serve it hot.


**Now let's come to the DON'TS:

- Don't keep flipping your steak, you just flip it once.
- Don't over marinade your meat… I left the seasonings unquantified because it could be adjusted according to your preferences.

  2. Tip : if you don't want all that meat juice in your plate , i recommend you pierce that aluminum paper from bottom and let some of the juice out , it will still be very tender and juicy , but not messy :)
    i love this recipe and i do it almost weekly for 2 years
