Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Season the beef tenderloin with salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef on all sides until browned (about 4-5 minutes). Remove from the skillet and let rest.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until translucent (about 3 minutes).

  3. 3

    Add Mushrooms and Peppers

    Add the sliced mushrooms and cherry peppers to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.

  4. 4

    Add Potatoes

    Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until they begin to soften.

  5. 5

    Deglaze with Sherry

    Pour in the sherry wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Combine and Finish

    Return the seared beef to the skillet, cover, and simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until the beef is cooked to your preference and the potatoes are tender. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
