Pan-fried Beef Tenderloin with Tofu, Mushroom, and Fresh Shrimp Soup

Pan-fried Beef Tenderloin with Tofu, Mushroom, and Fresh Shrimp Soup
As I mentioned before, my kid is a strict meat lover and doesn't enjoy seafood. To ensure a balanced diet, I have to sneak in some seafood whenever I can.

Materials

Beef Tenderloin 300g
Salt a pinch (to taste)
Cooking Wine 2 tablespoons
Cornstarch 1/2 tablespoon
Fresh Shrimp 3 pieces
Broccoli 8 stalks
Egg Tofu 1 block
Black Pepper 1/3 tablespoon
Sugar 1/2 tablespoon
Garlic 2 cloves
Sesame Oil 1/2 tablespoon
Black Pepper Sauce store-bought

How To Make

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Slice the beef tenderloin (ask your butcher to do it), gently pound with a meat mallet. Marinate with salt, sugar, and black pepper for half an hour in the fridge. Add half a spoon of cornstarch and mix well. Pan-fry until both sides are cooked and slightly crispy. Blanch the broccoli in boiling salted water with a bit of oil for 2-3 minutes to keep it vibrant. Drizzle with store-bought black pepper sauce.
