Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 (2 lbs) beef tenderloin, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup mirin or rice vinegar
  • 3 scallions sliced thin
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 lemon zest and juice
  • 2 tablespoons ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 heads bok choy
  • 3 scallions minced
  • 1 daikon radish chopped
  • 1 cucumber chopped
  • 1 handful sprouts
  • 1 handful chives
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup mirin or rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 lemon zest and juice (dressing)

Instruction

  • Prepare beef tenderloin by trimming off any large pieces of fat or tendon. If you're friendly, your butcher might do this for you. Season it well with salt and pepper.
  • Add oil to a large heavy pan over high heat. Sear tenderloin for about 3 minutes per side until well browned.
  • Add tenderloin to a roasting pan and roast for 25-30 minutes at 350°F until it reaches an internal temperature of 120-125°F (for medium rare). Be careful not to overcook.
  • Gather your marinade ingredients.
  • Add marinade ingredients to a large plastic bag. Mix well. Once tenderloin is out of oven and cooled a bit, add to bag.
  • Refrigerate tenderloin in marinade for at least 6 hours, but you could also do overnight. Turn it occasionally to make sure marinade is evenly covering the tenderloin.
  • When ready to make the salad, dice salad ingredients and make a bed on each plate.
  • Slice tenderloin very thinly using a sharp knife. 3-4 slices per salad is a good serving.
  • Drizzle dressing over salad before serving and garnish with chives and sprouts.
