WELCOME TO DIABETIC ENJOYING FOOD

I have chosen this name for this blog because it truly states my story. I am a type II diabetic who most certainly enjoys food. When I was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago, my blood sugar level was over 400. With some oral medications, a lot of research and some trial and error, I have found that unlike my ancestors I truly can continue to enjoy food. I hope this blog will help you to also enjoy food and be healthy. Some recipes are my originals and some I have collected. Everyone reacts different to various foods. Check your blood sugar readings so you will know whether or not a recipe works for you! And feel free to take a recipe and adjust it to suit your needs.

HERBED BEEF TENDERLOIN

1 (approx. 3 lb) beef tenderloin roast, center cut, well trimmed

2 tsp extra virgin olive or canola oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tsp dried basil
1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 tsp dried rosemary

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

In a small bowl or cup, combine the oil, garlic, basil, pepper, and rosemary; press onto the roast.

Place the roast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan and insert an ovenproof meat thermometer with the tip in the thickest part of the meat, away from any fat.  Do not cover or add water to pan!

Roast at 425 for 35-40 minutes for medium rare, 45 to 50 minutes for medium, etc.

Remove from oven when thermometer reads 135 degrees for medium rare, 150 for medium, etc. Immediately tent with foil and let stand 15 minutes.  This allows the temperature to rise another 10 degrees.

Carve and season with a little salt, if desired.

Yield: 4 servings
