Recipe: Pan-Seared Beef Tenderloin with Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Broccolini
Servings: 4
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
For the Beef Tenderloin:
- 1 (1.5-2 pound) beef tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes:
- 3-4 large Russet potatoes, peeled and chopped into 1-inch cubes
- 2 heads of garlic, separated into individual cloves
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Broccolini:
- 1 bunch Broccolini, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Preparation of the Beef Tenderloin: Rub the beef tenderloin with the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking.
3. Pan-Seared Beef Tenderloin: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over high heat. Sear the beef tenderloin for 2 minutes per side, or until a nice crust forms. Remove from heat and transfer to the preheated oven. Roast for 15-18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
4. Roasting of the Garlic: Wrap the garlic cloves in foil and roast in the oven for 45-50 minutes, or until soft and tender. Squeeze the garlic into a bowl and mash with a fork until creamy.
5. Preparation of the Potatoes: Boil the chopped potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot with the roasted garlic, butter, salt, and pepper. Mash the potatoes until creamy and add the heavy cream. Season to taste.
6. Roasting of the Broccolini: Toss the Broccolini with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl. Spread the Broccolini in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
7. Assembly and Serving: Slice the beef tenderloin and plate with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and sautéed Broccolini. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and lemon wedges, if desired.

Tips and Variations:
- For a more seared crust on the beef, add a tablespoon of browned butter or balsamic glaze to the skillet during the last minute of cooking.
- Replace the heavy cream with Greek yogurt for a lighter mashed potato recipe.
- Add some lemon zest or juice to the Broccolini for a pop of brightness.
- Serve the beef with a side of red wine sauce or beurre rouge for an indulgent touch.
