If you want to cook a really tasty and economical recipe, I can only recommend the pork tenderloin.
Tender and easy to prepare, filet mignon can be cooked with all sauces:mushrooms, mustard, cider or even chorizo, the variations are endless. But above all, it is a meat whose price per kilo is really very affordable.
Personally, it is with a hint of Espelette pepper and peppers that I prefer it for the greatest pleasure of the whole family.
Preparation:20 mins
Cooking:1 hour
Difficulty:Easy
For 6 people
Budget per person:€2.57
- 1 kg pork tenderloin
- 50 cl of fresh cream
- 1 green pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 onions
- 1 tablespoon of powdered Espelette pepper
- 25 g of butter
- Olive oil, salt &pepper
1. I wash the peppers, seed them and cut them into thin strips.
2. I peel and slice the onions.
3. In a frying pan, I pour a drizzle of olive oil and brown the onions over high heat for 2 minutes. I then add the pieces of peppers and let them brown over low heat.
4. Meanwhile, I cut the filet mignon into medallions about 2 cm wide.
5. In a skillet, I melt the butter then pour my meat. I brown it on each side over high heat for 5 min.
6. Once the meat has taken on a nice golden color, I salt it, pepper it, I add the fresh cream and the Espelette pepper powder. I mix everything well.
7. I pour my onion-peppers preparation into the sauté pan and mix again.
8. Cover and cook over low heat for 1 hour. I mix from time to time and adjust, if necessary, my seasoning.
9. I eat it hot with, for example, pasta.
Of course and it will only be better for it!
Usually, when I cook pork tenderloin, I cook a large batch and keep it in the fridge in an airtight container.
The next day, or even the day after, I reheat it in the microwave or even better, if I have time, over low heat in a saucepan.
