Beef Tenderloin & Balsamic Tomatoes

with Garlic Herb Couscous & Roasted Brussels Sprouts

Tomato sauce is for way more than just pasta, people! Here, it shines atop melt-in-your-mouth beef tenderloin—but this is not your average marinara. Grape tomatoes caramelize and burst in the pan, creating their own silky sauce. (Cue the swoons). On the side, there’s garlicky couscous and tender roasted Brussels sprouts. These savory sides are perfect for rounding out this rich and delicious meal.

  1. 1

    Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Wash and dry all produce.

    Trim and halve Brussels sprouts lengthwise. Halve, peel, and thinly slice shallot. Halve tomatoes.

    Roast on top rack until browned and tender, 15-20 minutes.

    Melt half the garlic herb butter in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add couscous and cook until toasted, 1-2 minutes.

    Stir in ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings) and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until tender, 6-8 minutes.
