Steps:

  • 1. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add shallots and saute until tender, about 4 minutes. Add brown sugar; stir 1 minute.

This is a great recipe for a special occasion. The beef medallions are cooked perfectly and the cognac sauce is delicious. I served it with roasted potatoes and asparagus, and it was a meal to remember.

I followed the recipe exactly and the beef medallions turned out perfectly. The cognac sauce was a bit strong for my taste, so I added a little cream to tone it down. Overall, this is a great recipe that I will definitely make again.
