Tenderloin Mudega is a delectable Tanzanian dish that tantalizes the taste buds with its unique blend of spices and succulent beef. This culinary masterpiece is crafted using tenderloin, a prime cut of beef known for its exquisite flavor and texture. The meat is meticulously marinated in a symphony of aromatic spices, including garlic, ginger, paprika, cumin, coriander, and turmeric, which infuse it with an irresistible depth of flavor. Once marinated, the tenderloin is grilled or roasted to perfection, resulting in a juicy and succulent dish that melts in your mouth. Accompanying this exceptional protein are two equally enticing recipes: Sukuma Wiki, a vibrant sautéed dish featuring collard greens and tomatoes, and Chapati, a soft and pliable flatbread that perfectly complements the richness of the tenderloin. These three components come together to create a harmonious and satisfying meal that is sure to leave a lasting impression on your palate.

LORUSSO'S - TENDERLOIN MUDEGA (STEAK MODIGA)



Lorusso's - Tenderloin Mudega (Steak Modiga) image

My husband and I often go to "the hill" in St. Louis. It is an Italian neighborhood featuring some of the best restaurants and little Italian grocers. For our anniversary we went to LoRusso's Cucina and my DH order Tenderloin Mudega. He LOVED his meal and said it was the best thing he'd ever eaten. To my surprise they posted their recipe online. The cheese used at the restaurant is "provel" but I think that is only found in St. Louis. You can substitute any white, mild cheese you'd like. Here it is for all of us to make at home. I can't wait to surprise him with this one!!!

Tips:

  • To ensure your tenderloin is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should read 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the doneness of your tenderloin by making a small incision in the center. The meat should be pink and juicy in the center for medium-rare or slightly firmer for medium.
  • Let your tenderloin rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
  • Serve your tenderloin with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
