Ingredients

• 2 beef tenderloin steaks (6-8 ounces each)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Beef Tenderloin with Creamy Sauce

1. Start by seasoning the beef tenderloin steaks generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the steaks and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare).
3. Remove the steaks from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, covered with foil to keep warm.
4. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
5. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow it to simmer for about 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
6. Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. While the sauce is thickening, steam the broccoli florets in a pot or steamer for about 5-7 minutes until tender but still bright green.
8. To serve, place each beef tenderloin steak on a plate, generously spoon the creamy garlic sauce over the top, and arrange the steamed broccoli on the side. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Tips for the Best Results

• Bring the beef to room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
• Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
• Make sure not to overcook the sauce; it should be creamy and smooth.
• For a more intense garlic flavor, add an additional clove or two.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the beef tenderloin with chicken breasts for a lighter option.
• Add sautéed mushrooms to the creamy sauce for extra flavor.
• Use asparagus or green beans instead of broccoli for a different vegetable side.

What to Serve With It

• Creamy mashed potatoes or garlic mashed cauliflower for a comforting side.
• A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette to balance the richness of the dish.
• Crusty bread or dinner rolls to soak up the delicious sauce.
