Ingredients
- 1.5 lb (680g), trimmed Beef tenderloin
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup Panko bread crumbs
- 2 tsp, chopped Fresh thyme
- 1 tsp, chopped Fresh rosemary
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 cups, cut into florets Broccoli
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Soy sauce
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat beef dry, then coat evenly with 2 tbsp Dijon mustard. Mix panko, thyme, and rosemary in a shallow dish, then press the mustard-coated beef firmly into the crumbs to form an even crust.
- Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear beef for 2 minutes per side until golden brown, then transfer skillet to oven and roast for 12-14 minutes for medium-rare, or until internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C).
- Step 3: While beef rests, toss broccoli florets with 1 tbsp olive oil and roast on a baking sheet for 10 minutes until edges are crisp. Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan, add minced garlic, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, then stir in soy sauce and 1 tsp water to create a glossy glaze.
- Step 4: Slice beef, drizzle with garlic glaze, and serve immediately with roasted broccoli.
