Ingredients

• 1 pound beef tenderloin, cut into 1-inch medallions
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

How to Make Beef Tenderloin with Broccoli

1. Begin by seasoning the beef tenderloin medallions with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef medallions and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
4. Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove the broccoli and set aside with the beef.
5. In the skillet, pour in the soy sauce and beef broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
6. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water to create a slurry. Stir this into the simmering sauce to thicken it. Allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
7. Add the beef medallions back into the skillet, coating them with the sauce. If using, sprinkle the red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
8. Serve the beef medallions alongside the garlic broccoli, drizzling extra sauce over the top if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your skillet is hot before adding the beef for a good sear.
• Adjust the cooking time based on your preferred doneness for the beef.
• Feel free to add other vegetables, like bell peppers or snap peas, for extra color and nutrition.

Easy Variations

• Substitute chicken or pork tenderloin for the beef for a different protein option.
• Use sesame oil instead of olive oil for a nutty flavor.
• Add a splash of balsamic vinegar for a tangy twist to the sauce.

What to Serve With It

• Fluffy jasmine rice or quinoa for a hearty side.
• Mashed potatoes to soak up the delicious sauce.
• A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Crusty bread for a comforting addition.
