- 150 g all-purpose flour for dredging the meat
- 1 kg beef tenderloin cut into thin vertical slices 1cm (0.4 inch) thick
- 50 ml extra virgin olive oil
- 6 garlic cloves thinly sliced

Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the flour, season with salt and pepper and stir well. Add the meat and thoroughly coat in the mixture.
- Place a deep pan over medium to high heat. Once it gets hot, add the olive oil and the meat in batches. Brown the meat on both sides, transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Using the same pan and without cleaning it, lower heat to medium. Add the garlic and vinegar. Scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon and cook for 1-2 minutes.
