The Subsimmer's Cookbook

Aramike · 09-24-09, 03:10 PM

One thing seems to be a constant throughout US naval submarining history - those who serve beneath the waves were fed quite well, and were privy to some of the finest cooking in the armed forces.

As someone who fancies himself a bit of a cook and who loves food, I thought it'd be fun for us to share some of our favorite recipes from either under the sea or on land.

Simple or ridiculously complex, let's see what we can come up with!

For starters:

Aramike's Amazing Pan-fried Beef Tenderloin

I love this incredibly easy marinade and fry recipe. Makes for an ultra flavorful steak.

All you need is:

2lb Whole Beef Tenderloin, halved
1 1/2 Cup Soy Sauce
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil.

Now, just mix soy sauce, garlic, and pepper in a medium sized bowl. Place in the two tenderloin halves. Wrap with plastic wrap, and marinate IN REFRIGERATOR for 3 - 5 hours.

Next, heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Once it's popping, carefully lay down the tenderloins (careful, it WILL splatter). Cook 5 - 7 minutes per side until done as desired.

Warning: don't bother adding any salt. The beef will be plenty flavorful and salty!

PS: The marinade is good for grilling too, but for once steak is better from the pan.
