It was getting late in the trip and a pair of the tenderloins were beginning to smell a bit. It looked like they would go bad before we got them back to Kodiak. So we decided to cook them. We decided to braise them in boiling water and then slice and add to a pan of roasted vegetables. It came out amazing!
Basically, I boiled a pot of water and simply dropped the tenderloins into the water and set it aside off of the stove. In the meanwhile I had been roasting a big pan of vegetables on the woodstove. I brought garlic, potatoes, and beets from my garden and we also added a red onion. We simply added some salt, pepper and avocado oil, put the lid on and left them on the stove to roast. I stirred them infrequently so that they could get charred and 'crusty'. I also added the onions and garlic cloves late in the process so they did not burn - the beets, potatoes and carrots needed a lot of time!
At the very end we poured off the braise water and cut up the tenderloins. They were perfectly pink inside. In a separate fry pan we fried up some chopped garlic and then quickly did sauté with the sliced tenderloin before adding it all to the roasted vegetables.
It was delicious!
