Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef tenderloin, trimmed
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)

How to Make Beef Tenderloin with Broccoli

  1. Start by seasoning the beef tenderloin generously with salt and black pepper on all sides. Let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
  2. While the beef is resting, prepare the broccoli. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil, then add the broccoli florets. Blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef tenderloin. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer to check for a temperature of 130°F for medium-rare. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  5. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the blanched broccoli and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the broccoli and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional minute until heated through.
  6. Slice the rested beef tenderloin into medallions and serve alongside the garlic soy broccoli. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the beef. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure your beef is cooked to your liking without overcooking.
  • Choose broccoli that is vibrant green and firm for the best texture.
  • Let the beef rest after cooking; this allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender bite.

Easy Variations

  • Swap broccoli for other vegetables like asparagus or green beans for a different twist.
  • Add a splash of rice vinegar or chili paste to the soy sauce mixture for a tangy kick.
  • Serve with a side of jasmine rice or quinoa to soak up the delicious sauce.

What to Serve With It

  • Steamed jasmine rice or quinoa for a hearty base
  • A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette
  • Garlic bread or crusty rolls to complement the meal

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, or microwave in short intervals until hot.
