Beef tenderloin gets carne asada treatment in this recipe. This Tex-Mex flavored dish requires minimal effort, most of it going into flattening the beef into ultra thin portions for quick cooking in the skillet. These steaks literally enjoy a flash in the pan, so you can have a filling, flavorful dinner the whole family will love on your table in about 20 minutes. The salsa makes this dish, and has the unusual addition of white beans (cannellini) for added heft. Enjoy this Tex-Mex flavored beef with fat-free tortilla chips, and make a double batch of the salsa to have on hand for dipping or adding to a rice or grain bowl the next day.
