The kind of recipe that feels fancy but is secretly so simple… in true Slow Supper fashion. This beef tenderloin has become one of our go-to “special but not stressful” dinners. I usually make it with two beef tenderloins, because leftovers never last long in this house. The marinade is what makes it magic: ½ cup soy sauce ½ cup Worcestershire sauce ½ cup pickled jalapeño brine (mine is homemade from our garden jalapeños 🌶️) ½ teaspoon black pepper (or cracked whole pepper) ½ stick of butter Bold, buttery, just a little spicy, and so incredibly rich. Now for how I get that crispy outside with a melt-in-your-mouth center every single time. After years of trial and error, cast iron is the answer. I heat my skillet over medium-high with 3 tablespoons of butter, sear the tenderloins for 5 minutes per side until deeply golden (about 20 minutes total), then slide the whole pan into a 350° oven for 10 minutes. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and you’ll have the juiciest, most tender beef every time. And this is where Slow Supper comes in. It doesn’t always mean crockpot meals. Sometimes it simply means slowing down long enough to make food that feels comforting, intentional, and nourishing for your family… meals that say we’re here, together, at the table. The final touch for this one is my pickled jalapeño sour cream. It’s the icing on the cake for this dish.
