Tenderloin Beef Alexander Style
Goody Kitchen
Otherwise known as an Iskendar kebab, tenderloin beef Alexander style has historical origins and masses of flavour. Our recipe makes it easy to recreate this iconic dish at home; instead of using traditional doner kebab meat we sear thinly sliced beef in a hot pan, then layer over butter-toasted bread cubes along with a spiced tomato sauce.
