Another hit with tonight's meal... seems that trying to cook simpler I'm scoring higher in the taste-o-meter, at least, as far as my son is concerned.

A beef tenderloin, seasoned and browned in a bit of olive oil and then simply cooked in the clay pot, with just pieces of (already juiced) orange slices and a touch of Sherry. Cook in 375 F oven for about 1 hour; it turned out into a very tender piece of meat.

I also cooked a mixed brown rice with wild rice variety we like, that comes already with seasonings in a container.. and repeated a recipe from sometime last year for Braised Baby Bok Choy with Orange-Honey Glaze.

I will use the left over meat for something else tomorrow...

A very comforting meal, according to my son!

Perfect! I love the Italian philosophy of cooking, get the best fresh ingredients and do as little to them possible.
Sonia M. Apr 2, 2012, 12:56pm UTC
It's true...the best meals seem to be the simplest

that ride looks really good
Sonia M. Apr 2, 2012, 12:57pm UTC
The rice is delicious...not that I did anything else but add water and a couple of drops of olive oil and cooked...it comes with all the seasonings already.

That looks like a really delicious meal, Sonia!
Sonia M. Apr 2, 2012, 12:57pm UTC
It was, Sandy...thank you!
Nancy S. Apr 2, 2012, 12:33pm UTC
Looks delicious Sonia.
Sonia M. Apr 2, 2012, 12:58pm UTC
Thanks, Nancy...it was!
Alison H. Apr 2, 2012, 6:20pm UTC
I'd like some of that...yum!
Sonia M. Apr 2, 2012, 6:31pm UTC
;-)

It looks delicious and had got me hungry. It is hard to get good beef now.
Sonia M. Apr 2, 2012, 10:13pm UTC
Thank you, William...

We have a local source of very good beef...grass raised, not too far from where I live...
William M. Apr 3, 2012, 5:25pm UTC
That is great, Sonia. They changed the grading of beef here years ago. Choice was good eating. Now it is not. It is all you can find in supermarkets and prime would probably be priced outrageous if you could find it.
Sonia M. Apr 3, 2012, 5:45pm UTC
I know. We don't eat as much beef as we did at one time, but when we do, we rather pay a little bit more, but we are buying only locally raised beef. Helping our own farmers is worth the extra expense, which is not really all that much more!
William M. Apr 5, 2012, 2:10pm UTC
I expect the beef you get is as good or better than what we can get.
Sonia M. Apr 5, 2012, 2:14pm UTC
Let me just put it this way....At least I know where it comes from and how it is raised.
William M. Apr 5, 2012, 2:20pm UTC
That is more than we know, Sonia, and good to know.
Sonia M. Apr 5, 2012, 2:25pm UTC
I think so too... ;-)
Thanks again, William!

Looks delicious!!
Sonia M. Apr 3, 2012, 12:34pm UTC
Thank you, Jennifer...it was!

Looks mighty fine to me and Mag would love this meal.
Sonia M. Apr 3, 2012, 12:35pm UTC
Bob, it is so easy to do. If you don't have a clay cooker, you should get one. They come in several sizes.
Debbie W. Apr 3, 2012, 12:36pm UTC
Yummy! I must have missed the call inviting me over! LOL
Sonia M. Apr 3, 2012, 1:35pm UTC
LOL...you must have!
Natalie Neal Whitefield Apr 3, 2012, 2:10pm UTC
I love these kinds of meals. Simply delicious!
Sonia M. Apr 3, 2012, 2:21pm UTC
I do too, Natalie...Although I enjoy cooking, I don't particularly enjoy being in the kitchen for hours every day. Quick (homemade!) meals is the way to go.
Thanks!

This looks really delicious! Thanks for posting to Cook it up Big!

Thank you, Jan!
