Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Cut beef tenderloin into 1/2-inch thick slices and place on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
  2. Step 2: Arrange broccoli crowns around beef, then scatter 4 minced garlic cloves over both. Drizzle with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Roast for 15-18 minutes, flipping beef halfway, until beef reaches 125°F (medium-rare) and broccoli edges are golden.
  4. Step 4: Remove from oven, add butter and lemon juice to pan, swirling to melt. Let sit 2 minutes for flavors to meld before serving.
