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

  • In a mixing bowl combine the tenderloin tips, chopped garlic, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes to marinate briefly.
  • Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large heavy skillet or wok over medium‑high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and stir‑fry until they begin to brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the beef mixture to the pan and stir‑fry until the outside is browned, about 2 to 3 minutes for medium‑rare, adjusting time as needed for your preferred doneness.
  • Stir in the halved tomatoes and chopped scallions, then add the butter and toss briefly so the meat is coated in the pan juices. Remove from heat to avoid overcooking.
  • Serve the tenderloin mixture over individual portions of steamed white or brown rice.
