Buying a whole beef tenderloin can be a great way to purchase a deliciously tender cut of beef at a savings and get several meals from it. This dish is a quick stir-fry made from the parts of the whole tenderloin that are left over after slicing it into filet mignon. Flavored with garlic and combined with tomatoes, mushrooms and scallions, these tender bits of steak make a fabulous one-dish meal to serve over rice.

Total Time: 25 minutes
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

1 lb beef tenderloin tips, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 to 5 cloves garlic, very finely chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces cremini or white button mushrooms, sliced
1-1/2 cups grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
4 to 5 scallions, chopped
1 tablespoon butter
Steamed white or brown rice

Instructions

Combine the tenderloin tips, garlic, 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil, soy sauce and Worcestershire in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat the beef thoroughly.Set aside for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large, heavy skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and stir-fry until lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the beef mixture and stir fry until browned on the outside, 2 to 3 minutes for medium rare.
Add the tomatoes and scallions and toss to combine. Add the butter and continue cooking just long enough to coat the meat with the pan juices. Remove from the heat.
To serve, plate individual servings of rice and top with the steak mixture.
