Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef tenderloin, cut into 4 medallions
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

How to Make Beef Tenderloin with Broccoli

  1. Start by seasoning the beef tenderloin medallions generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef medallions and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness. Remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
  3. While the beef is resting, prepare the broccoli. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the broccoli florets to the skillet, tossing them with the garlic. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce and red pepper flakes (if using). Pour this mixture into the skillet with the broccoli and add the butter. Stir until the butter melts and the sauce coats the broccoli.
  6. Arrange the beef medallions on plates and spoon the garlic broccoli alongside. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the beef for extra flavor.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Let the beef tenderloin rest after cooking to retain its juices.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
  • For a deeper flavor, marinate the beef in soy sauce, garlic, and olive oil for 30 minutes prior to cooking.

Easy Variations

  • Swap broccoli for other vegetables like asparagus or green beans for a different flavor profile.
  • Add a tablespoon of sesame oil to the garlic sauce for an Asian twist.
  • Serve with a sprinkle of sesame seeds or chopped scallions for added texture and color.

What to Serve With It

  • Creamy mashed potatoes or garlic mashed cauliflower for a comforting side.
  • Quinoa or rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • A simple mixed green salad with a light vinaigrette for a fresh contrast.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out.
