I very rarely eat meat but i had my granddaughter's friends parents over for a meal. So I cooked the bean stew for me with bread and served it with the tenderloin for the parents.
The combination apparently worked very well.

Steps

30 mins

1

Butterfly your loinstrip lengthwise and put in the skinned sausage. Close over and wrap the tenderloin in the bacon.
2

You do not need any fat in your griddle pan. The bacon and sausage have enough fat to slowly cook the meat and keep it moist.
3

Put your stuffed tenderloin in a griddlepan and cook on a medium heat from all sides quickly to seal, turn down the heat and let it cook, making sure it does not overcook, this takes no more than 25 -30 minutes.
4

In the meantime chop the pepper and garlic and boil in the water.
5

Add the beans, lentils and tomatoes to the peppers and garlic
6

Simmer away until beans and lentils soft but not mushy
7

Both the meat and beans will be cooked at the same time.
8

Either eat the stew like I do with some homemade crusty bread or serve with the meat.
9

The sausage contains paprika do not mistake the juices for blood as they will be a deep red orange colour. Pour the juices over your meat and serve
