Ingredients

• 1 pound beef tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch thick slices
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon honey
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
• Green onions, sliced for garnish (optional)

How to Make Beef Tenderloin with Broccoli

1. Start by marinating the beef. In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the beef tenderloin slices, coating them well. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the broccoli.
2. In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
3. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated beef tenderloin slices in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, depending on thickness.
4. Remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Meanwhile, in the same skillet, add the remaining soy sauce and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits.
5. Add the steamed broccoli into the skillet, tossing it in the sauce for 1-2 minutes until heated through. Adjust seasoning as needed.
6. Slice the rested beef tenderloin and serve it alongside the garlic soy broccoli. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the top and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your skillet is hot before adding the beef for a good sear.
• Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
• Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook the beef in batches if necessary to maintain high heat.
• Let the beef rest after cooking for juicier slices.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the beef tenderloin with chicken breast or firm tofu for a different protein option.
• Add sliced bell peppers or snap peas to the broccoli for extra color and crunch.
• For a spicy kick, incorporate red pepper flakes or Sriracha into the marinade.
• Use low-sodium soy sauce for a lighter version of the dish.

What to Serve With It

• Steamed jasmine rice or quinoa for a wholesome base.
• A fresh green salad drizzled with a sesame dressing.
• Mashed potatoes for a comforting side.
• Grilled corn on the cob for a seasonal touch.
