Quick and Easy Tenderloin slices with broccoli

This super yummy all-time favorite recipe takes less than 20 minutes to make!

What you will need:

  • half kilo Beef or Pork Tenderloin (cut in slices)
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (mix with 4 tbsp of water)
  • cooking oil (whichever oil you prefer – I use olive oil)
  • 1 medium size clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 3 tbsp oyster sauce
  • half cup water
  • half tbsp grated ginger
  • 1 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
  • sesame seeds (for sprinkle)

how to cook it:

  1. Season tenderloin slices with a dash of salt and pepper (set aside and let it absorb the flavor)
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and blanch for about 2 mins to retain crispiness. Remove from pot, run through/plunge it with cold water and drain. (set aside)
  3. In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp of cornstarch and 4 tbsp of water (set aside)
  4. In a non stick pan, heat about 3 tbsp of oil and cook tenderloin for about 5 mins (set aside – we’ll cook it more later, don’t worry)
  5. In the same pan, add a bit more oil then fry garlic and get it to light brown until fragrant. Add in grated ginger then throw in the butter to stop the garlic from cooking further (burnt garlic is bitter and we don’t want that!)
  6. put back your semi-cooked tenderloin and mix mix mix!
  7. Time to add the flavors in! add in oyster sauce, soy sauce, water, brown sugar and the cornstarch you prepared earlier (make sure to mix the bowl again as cornstarch may have settled). Give it a good MIX! you’ll notice the sauce getting thicker.
  8. Throw in your sliced white onions, broccoli and sprinkle with some sesame seeds
  9. Roughly mix and when you see that the onions have separated, it’s ready to serve! (even better if you top it on a hot bowl of rice!)
