Seared Beef Tenderloin with Roasted Eggplant and Quinoa
Pan-seared beef tenderloin served over lemon-herb quinoa and tender roasted eggplant, finished with a sprinkle of juicy pomegranate arils.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Beef Tenderloin
3/4 cup Cooked Quinoa
1 cup Cubed Eggplant
1.5 tsp Olive Oil
2 tbsp Pomegranate Arils
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the cubed eggplant with half of the olive oil and a pinch of sea salt, then roast for 20 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
While the eggplant roasts, ensure your quinoa is cooked and fluffy, then set it aside in a warm bowl.
Season the beef tenderloin with sea salt and cracked black pepper, then sear in a hot skillet with the remaining olive oil for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Remove the beef from the skillet and let it rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes before slicing into medallions.
Fold the lemon juice and chopped fresh parsley into the warm quinoa to brighten the flavors.
Plate the lemon-herb quinoa, top with the roasted eggplant and sliced beef, and finish with a garnish of fresh pomegranate arils.
