Filet with peppers

Filet with peppers

This dish I made up once because I wanted to make something similar to my mom’s roast beef.  It is really easy to make!

I’ll post the roast beef eventually, but I must warn that it is a little bit more complicated to make but it’s really worth it.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pork filet
  • 2 red peppers – chopped
  • 2 medium onions – chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • pepper
  • garlic powder
  • olive oil
  • 1 cup water

Directions:

  1. Wash the filet and pat dry.
  2. Place the filet in a pan, and sprinkle salt, pepper and powdered garlic.
  3. Sprinkle a little bit of olive oil on top.
  4. Arrange the chopped onions around the filet, and then add the chopped peppers.
  5. Add the water.
  6. filet with peppers - ready for oven
    Bake in 350ºF (180ºC) oven for 1 hour, checking to make sure that there’s enough water in the pan, and adjusting the temperature in case you notice that it is browning too fast.
  7. When ready, put the filet on the side, and half of the peppers and onions.
  8. Make sure there’s about 1/2 cup of liquid in the pan (add water accordingly), and with a stick mixer, blend the remaining onions and peppers to make a nice sauce.  Taste for salt, and then strain it for a smoother sauce.
  9. Slice the filet in medallions and arrange on a plate.  Add sauce and then decorate with the remaining onions and peppers.
