It's raining at the outside and i spend my weekend with father. So I decided to cook some dishes that he like and enjoy the night on the dinner table, it is....
Tenderloin steak with Red Wine Sauce, Mashed potato, and Salad
Tenderloin steak with red wine sauce
Ingredients: (Serve for 2)
1. 400 gram of Tenderloin
2. 5 tablespoons Red wine ( I use Australian red wine Shiraz Cabernet)
3. Salt, Paper, Thyme, Mix herbs
4. 2 Tablespoons
Sandra's Olga way to cook:
1. Prepare your meat. If its from your fridge, bring it out and wait until the meat has a room temperature.
2. Make it thinner, I slice it into two pieces.
3. Make it tender with "Meat hammer mallet tenderizer" I use the small size. It makes the seasoning more deep.
4. Next, I put the meat on the glass bowl and add some Red Wine ( A right size of Glass Bowl make the red wine more deep into the meat)
6. Marinade for 30-60 minutes ( You can move to cook some other complimentary)
7. Prepare your griddle pan and put butter on it. Heat up until very hot.
8. Reduce the heat on medium, and put the marinaded steak. I also put the marinade sauce above it.
9. I like to eat medium well, so I grill for 4 minutes, each side ( If you want a well done, make it 7 minutes; It also depends on how thick of your steak; Only turn over the steak once time.)
10. Put it on a plate and wait for a few minutes before serving.
Mashed potato
Ingredients: (Serve for 2)
1. 5 pieces of baby potato
2. 1/2 cup of milk
3. 1 Tablespoon of butter
4. Salt and Paper
5. Cream-light
1. Prepare your baby potato ( its better than the big one, easy to cook)
2. Put the potatoes on a pot and boil it with a medium heat, until the potatoes tender but still firm, over 15 minutes (Use a fork to test) then drain.
5. Put it on your mixing bowl. Add cream light and slowly blend it with a beater/whisk until smooth and creamy.

5. 1 and 1/2 Tablespoon butter
6. 1 Tablespoon dried parsley
