Well, it was bound to happen. Not every recipe out there is good it seems. We made a slow-cooked pork and black bean dish that was less than stellar. And last week I tried chicken parm for the first time – not so much.

But this recipe made it through – quite enjoyable. So we’re calling it the recipe for weeks three and four. Another winner from Real Simple. Seems like the magazine recipes are a good call so far.

Impressions:
You can’t go wrong with the classic beef loin, especially with the quality of meat from Central Market. The lemon and parsley was just subtle enough not to enhance the flavors of the beef.

What I added:
Nothing. Served with green beans sprinkled with lemon and parm.

Nutrition:
Not too sure. The beef was very lean, the potatoes offer sugar and carbs.

Status:
