How did I get this recipe?

I can still remember the exact moment I discovered the recipe for Corazon de Solomillo San Valentin. It was a warm summer day, and I was visiting my dear friend Rosa in her charming little village in Spain. Rosa was a fantastic cook, and she had invited me over to her home for a special Valentine's Day dinner.

As soon as I walked into her kitchen, I was enveloped in the mouth-watering aroma of spices and herbs. Rosa greeted me with a warm hug and a mischievous twinkle in her eye. "Today, we are going to make something extra special for our husbands," she said, as she handed me a glass of sangria.

We spent the afternoon chopping vegetables, marinating meat, and sipping on sangria as we chatted and laughed. Rosa shared with me stories of her grandmother, who was famous for her delicious recipes and her love for cooking. She told me about the Corazon de Solomillo San Valentin, a dish that her grandmother used to make for special occasions.

The dish was a tender beef tenderloin, marinated in a rich blend of spices and herbs, then grilled to perfection. The meat was then sliced into heart shapes and served with a savory sauce made from red wine and roasted garlic. It was a dish that was sure to impress any guest and make their heart sing with delight.

As the sun began to set, we set the table with candles and fresh flowers, creating a romantic ambiance for our Valentine's Day dinner. When the dish was finally ready, we plated it with care, garnishing it with fresh herbs and a sprinkle of love.

As we sat down to eat, the first bite of Corazon de Solomillo San Valentin sent my taste buds into a frenzy. The meat was so tender and juicy, bursting with flavor from the marinade. The sauce added a rich depth to the dish, perfectly complementing the beef. It was a culinary masterpiece, and I knew I had to learn how to make it myself.

Rosa noticed my enthusiasm and smiled knowingly. "I can see that you have fallen in love with this dish," she said. "I will teach you how to make it, so you can share it with your loved ones."

And so, Rosa patiently guided me through the steps of making Corazon de Solomillo San Valentin. She showed me how to select the best cuts of beef, how to marinate it to perfection, and how to grill it just right. She shared with me her grandmother's secret recipe for the sauce, and I scribbled down every detail in my notebook.

After that day, I made Corazon de Solomillo San Valentin for every special occasion, from Valentine's Day to anniversaries to birthdays. Each time I made it, I thought of Rosa and her grandmother, and the joy they had brought into my life through their love of cooking.

Now, as I prepare this dish for my own grandchildren, I pass on the recipe with pride, knowing that it will bring them just as much joy and happiness as it has brought me. And I am grateful for the memories of that warm summer day in Spain, when I learned the recipe for Corazon de Solomillo San Valentin, a dish that will forever hold a special place in my heart.
