The Columbia Restaurant in St Augustine Fl is one of my favorite places to eat when I visit the oldest city in America. From their website I decided to give my try at making Filet Salteado one of their more popular dishes on the menu. I did not think my homemade version tasted quite as good as what the restaurant makes. I followed the recipe as follows, except cooking the potatoes a few minutes longer. I would appreciate any suggestions that might spruce up this otherwise tasty dish.


recipe

1 lb. tenderloin filet, cut in 1-inch cubes
1 Spanish onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 chorizo (Spanish sausage), sliced
½ cup sliced mushrooms
Salt and pepper to taste
2 potatoes, peeled and diced
Vegetable or peanut oil for frying
1/3 cup red wine
1 green pepper, chopped

Preparation

Sauté diced tenderloin in hot olive oil. When meat is brown, add chopped garlic, onion, and green pepper. Set aside. Deep-fry diced potatoes in vegetable oil for 10 minutes or until brown; drain on paper towels. Add chorizo, mushrooms, salt, pepper and potatoes to the meat. Add wine and bring to a boil. Serves 2.
