Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef tenderloin
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (optional)
  • Fresh lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

How to Make Grilled Beef Tenderloin with Broccoli

  1. Start by preparing the beef tenderloin. Pat it dry with paper towels and rub it with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes to enhance the flavor.
  2. While the beef is resting, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the broccoli to an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef tenderloin. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until it reaches your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it’s cooked to at least 145°F for medium-rare.
  4. While the beef is grilling, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the blanched broccoli and sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes, tossing to coat in the garlic oil.
  5. Remove the beef from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar if desired.
  6. Serve the sliced beef tenderloin alongside the garlic broccoli, garnished with fresh lemon wedges for a zesty finish.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Make sure to let the beef rest after grilling; this helps retain its juices.
  • Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your tenderloin and your desired doneness.
  • If you prefer your broccoli softer, extend the blanching time slightly.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute the beef tenderloin with chicken breast or portobello mushrooms for a different protein option.
  • Add red pepper flakes to the garlic for a spicy kick.
  • Try different seasonings on the beef, such as rosemary or thyme, for extra flavor.

What to Serve With It

  • Creamy mashed potatoes or cauliflower mash for a comforting side.
  • Quinoa or rice pilaf for a hearty addition.
  • A fresh garden salad dressed with a light vinaigrette.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm the beef and broccoli in a skillet over low heat until heated through. Avoid microwaving as it can make the beef tough.
