Beef Tenderloin Tips with Vegetables

This dish, inspired by Jacques Pepin's Instant Beef Tenderloin Stew, isn't like the traditional, thick stew we think of in the South. This is more of a skillet meal, but with a stew vibe.

The focus stays on the beef tenderloin that cooks quickly and stays buttery‑soft, while the vegetables help it to feel hearty like a traditional stew, but without being overly heavy.

What comes out of the pan in the end, is tender beef tips, tossed with potatoes and carrots, earthy mushrooms, sweet peas, and just enough white wine and broth to pull everything together with a glossy, savory finish.

A simple soup, made from tiny butter beans, lightly seasoned with onion and celery, thickened with a puree and finished with a sprinkle of sliced green onions. Easy and delicious!

Butter Bean Soup

Among the varieties of southern beans and peas, butter beans are right at the top. In addition to their creamy buttery texture and taste, they are a powerhouse source of low fat, high protein fiber, rich in iron and B vitamins too.

They're certainly popular in the south and a lot of folks start planting them in the early spring for a plentiful summer crop. I hope that you put some up in the freezer, because this soup is fantastic! No worries if you didn't though, because they're widely available year round in both dried and frozen forms too.
