2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 sprigs rosemary, leaves finely chopped
salt and pepper
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 cup chicken stock
2(15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained
Directions:
Heat the olive oil in a skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add onions, rosemary and salt and pepper.
Cook the onions until sweet and soft, 8-10 minutes.
Heat oil in large, heavy skillet or cast iron skillet over medium high heat. When the oil smokes, add the meat and DON'T MOVE IT for 5 minutes. Let it develop that nice crust or caramelization, before turning. Once browned, it should look like this:
Season meat liberally with salt and pepper, add the garlic and toss with the meat for 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley and the lemon zest and cook for another minute. Add the white wine, this is one of my favorites:
Deglaze the pan. Turn off the heat, add the lemon juice and toss to coat. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.
It makes a nice little sauce.
I have to tell you the flavor of the lemon and the garlic, mixed with the beef was such a hit with me. I absolutely loved this. I only wished I had bread to sop up the juices from both dishes.
What a messy plating, but it tasted great. I'm sure Racheal won't mind. Whether you like her or not , you will love these two dishes.
Stir in tomato paste for 1 minute. I looove the tomato paste in a tube. So much easier than scraping it out of that abnormally small can.
Add the stock, then stir in beans and reduce heat to low. Adjust seasoning and turn out into a serving bowl. Keep warm until ready to serve. I just kept it on low until the meat was done.
I cannot begin to tell you how much I enjoyed these. The rosemary and the beans are such a great combination of flavors. I could have just ate these with a big loaf of crusty bread. These are a definate keeper for me. If you try either one of these recipes and I hope you try both, try this dish. You will love it.
Up next is the main dish, Lemon Garlic Sirloin Tips, recipe can be found here. While Rachael was making this, I kept saying to my husband, I am making these tomorrow, it looked that good. Another plus was that it was cooked on top of the stove. It has been so humid here in New York, I was so happy to make something that didn't require me to turn the dam oven on. Here it is:

Lemon Garlic Sirloin Tips
2 lbs sirloin tips ( I had to ask the butcher in the supermarket for these)
3 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper
4-5 large cloves garlic, finely chopped ( I used 5)
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/2 cup white wine
1/2 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley, a couple of handfuls
Directions:
Bring meat to room temperature and pat dry. I left mine on the counter for 1/2 hour and I actually did pat them dry. It is an important step. Also, if you have some pieces that are larger than the others, cut them so they are uniform in size.
Heat oil in large, heavy skillet or cast iron skillet over medium high heat. When the oil smokes, add the meat and DON'T MOVE IT for 5 minutes. Let it develop that nice crust or caramelization, before turning. Once browned, it should look like this:
Season meat liberally with salt and pepper, add the garlic and toss with the meat for 2 minutes. Stir in the parsley and the lemon zest and cook for another minute. Add the white wine, this is one of my favorites:

Wow - great recipes, both of them! The sirloin reminds me slightly of souvlaki!
ReplyDeleteI really like that wine. I have some in my fridge right now! And, wow, I've never seen tomato paste in a tube. Cool!
ReplyDeleteThis does look fabulous!
Both of these recipes sound amazing..I mean come on, I love sirloin tips AND beans, so I know I must make this meal!!! Yum, great job...I'm droolin' away ova heah!!! :D And I can no longer find tomato paste in a tube...ARG!!!!
ReplyDeleteUmmm beef and beans, my kind of meal! The flavors look and sounds great, and I also have some of that wine in my fridge. Not a bad inexpensive wine!
ReplyDeleteRachel Ray usually has some yummy recipes! This looks great. I'm a huge bean and beef fan. I made a great grilled beef recipe that used lemon. Beef and lemon do make a great combo. The lemon makes it so flavorful and tender. The only thing I don't have is the wine. My husband kept sneaking out of my bottle I used for cooking and now it's empty!
ReplyDeleteThe meat looks juicy and tasty. I love garlic in any dish!
ReplyDeleteBoth dishes look terrific. I am so making those beans tonight. I have everything on hand and my fresh rosemary has been calling my name. I'll have to deal with Scotts gas issue with beans, but it will be worth it I'm sure. I'll just light my Yankee candles.:):)
ReplyDeleteThis looks fantastic! Not sure if the hubby and kids would eat the beans, but the tips looks great!
ReplyDeleteI always think of lemon with fish and poultry, I never thought about adding it to a beef dish. Now I'm so curious I'll have to try it.
ReplyDeleteThe beans look wonderful, too!
I really like most of Rachael's recipes so I'm glad to hear these got rave reviews. The heat is killing me too! I would kill for it to be about 10 degrees cooler...
ReplyDeleteR.Ray is turning into a cooking empire... no help from me, though! Your meal looks and sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteBeef and beans - a winning combination.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds so delicious!
ReplyDeleteOMG Woman that looks so delicious!
ReplyDeleteAwww, I want tomato paste in a tube! You have so many neat products in the US that we don't have here in Canada. Nice looking meal!
ReplyDeletemake room at the table for me.....
ReplyDeleteHearty and delicious! Loving all the flavors!
ReplyDeleteThey both look great Denise. Love the beans...a nice, different way to cook them. I'll have to try that one on my son. Maybe I can finally get him to try these.....
ReplyDeleteWhat yummy comfort food! They both look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried tomato paste in a tube - great idea! Love the caramelization on the meat. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteThe tips sound very flavorful with lemon and garlic and the beans are an excellent side dish!
ReplyDeleteBoth sound great! Where did you get the tomato paste?
ReplyDeleteThese look so delicious. Keepers for sure!
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm not a big fan of beef that does look pretty good and I'm certain my family would enjoy it. Now those beans? Those sound terrific.
ReplyDelete~ingrid
These both sound good; I have copied this to try. Thanks for the comment on the flour tortillas...you are right about the sugar and cinnamon ones...YUM!
ReplyDeletethat looks so delicious, and barefoot is one of my favs, any variety, but especially the cab and white zin, are you a member of the barefoot republic, if not you should join!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so yummy! Thanks for sharing your recipe :)
ReplyDeleteI saw this episode, too, and thought it all looked great. Thanks for the review! Yours looks like it was a winner :)
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, you have me sold! these both sound amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a recipe I definitely want to try. Do you think this would freeze good?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great duo - I've been seeing a lot of the cannellini beans lately, I'm feeling the need to grab a can or two...maybe try them out with that crusty bread you were talking about :)
