Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef tenderloin
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 pound green beans, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 scallions, sliced (for garnish)

How to Make Beef Tenderloin with Soy Glaze

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the beef tenderloin with salt and pepper on all sides.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the soy glaze.
3. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, sear the beef tenderloin for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
4. Pour half of the soy glaze over the seared beef and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (medium-rare) to 145°F (medium).
5. While the beef is roasting, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch the green beans for about 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
6. In a separate skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the blanched green beans and sauté for 2-3 minutes, drizzling with the remaining soy glaze for flavor.
7. Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice the tenderloin into medallions.
8. To serve, plate the beef slices alongside the sautéed green beans and drizzle any remaining glaze over the top. Garnish with sliced scallions.

Tips for the Best Results

• Allow the beef to come to room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure your beef is cooked to the perfect doneness.
• Letting the meat rest after cooking helps retain its juices.

Easy Variations

• Swap the green beans for asparagus or broccoli for a different vegetable pairing.
• Add a splash of chili oil to the soy glaze for a spicy kick.
• For a sweeter glaze, include a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.

What to Serve With It

• Creamy mashed potatoes or garlic mashed cauliflower.
• Fluffy jasmine rice or quinoa for a wholesome grain option.
• A fresh salad with a light vinaigrette to balance the richness of the beef.
