Wash and dry all produce. Thinly slice @scallions{2%pieces}, separating whites from greens. Peel and mince or grate @ginger{1%tbsp}. Cut @broccoli florets{8%oz} into bite-size pieces if necessary. Halve @grape tomatoes{1%cup} lengthwise. Preheat oven to 450°F.

Heat a drizzle of @cooking oil{2%tbsp} in a #small pot{} over medium-high heat. Add @jasmine rice{1½%cup}, half the scallion whites, and 1 tsp ginger. Cook, stirring, until fragrant ~{2%minutes}. Stir in 1¼ cups water and @pho stock concentrate{2%tsp}; bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender ~{15%minutes}. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Meanwhile, in a #medium bowl{}, combine @sesame seeds{1%tbsp}, @korean chili flakes{1%tbsp}, and half the @garlic powder{1%tsp}. Pat @beef tenderloin filets{12%oz} dry with paper towels and season generously all over with @salt{1%tsp} and @black pepper{½%tsp}. Add beef to bowl with sesame-chili mixture; press to coat all sides. Heat a drizzle of cooking oil in a #large pan{} over medium heat. Add beef and sear, turning occasionally, until browned all over ~{5%minutes}. Turn off heat; transfer beef to a plate. Wipe out pan.

While beef cooks, toss broccoli florets on one side of a #baking sheet{} with a drizzle of cooking oil, remaining garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack ~{5%minutes}. Once broccoli has roasted for 5 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Carefully place beef on empty side of sheet. Return to top rack and roast until broccoli is browned and tender and beef reaches desired doneness ~{8%minutes}.

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of cooking oil in pan used for beef over medium-high heat. Add grape tomatoes and remaining scallion whites; cook until tomatoes begin to burst ~{2%minutes}. Stir in @soy sauce{1%tbsp}, half the @rice wine vinegar{1%tbsp}, ¼ cup water, and 1 tsp @sugar{1%tsp}. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is slightly thickened ~{3%minutes}. Remove from heat; stir in 1 TBSP @butter{2%tbsp} until melted.

Fluff rice with a fork; stir in scallion greens and remaining butter until melted and combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Slice beef against the grain. Divide rice between plates. Top with broccoli and beef in separate sections; spoon as many tomatoes as you like over beef. Serve with any remaining tomatoes on the side.
