Today, I cooked raw meat all by myself. I've always been used to veggies/fruits/canned stuff so preparing something out of raw meat is something new for me. I saw the chunk of raw tenderloin in the Supermarket today which costed roughly PhP 90, so I decided to try it out for today.
All day, I was concerned if I was working with spoiled meat. Throughout the prep-work, I was checking online on how to know if the meat is spoiled. So far, it all boiled down to the smell. Mine didnt smell funky. The color was good too! The parts that were frozen had a deeper color but I knew it was of a different color because certain parts got frozen.
With the limited stuff available in the apartment kitchen, I just ended up grabbing again whatever was available. I used a Red Wine marinade recipe as a guide, though I didnt have everything.
So anyway, it turned out really well, so that's why I'm posting it here today!
Ingredients:
- 8 oz tenderloin
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/3 cup dry red wine
- sprinkle salt and pepper
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Yakiniku sauce (i didnt have the Worcestershire sauce, so I ended up with this)
- 1/2 tsp sugar
Procedure:
- Cut the beef into 1 inch by 1/2 inch (salpicao style).
- Mix everything together. Make sure to taste and adjust . Don't make it too salty.
- Marinate it for at least 2 hours, maximum 6 hours.
- When it's ready, put some olive oil in the pan at high heat. Put in the beef chunks one at a time. Flip it over once. It should get that crusty seared texture on the outside.
- For the sauce, pour the marinade into the pan to cook for about a minute. When it's done, pour over the beef.
