Reduce heat, and simmer until the vegetables are very soft and the pan juices have reduced by half, about 20 minutes.

Tips:
- When choosing beef tenderloin, look for a piece that is at least 1 inch thick and has a good amount of marbling.
- To ensure that the beef medallions are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-well.
- Allow the beef medallions to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- If you don't have red wine on hand, you can use a dry white wine or even beef broth in its place.
- If you want a thicker sauce, you can simmer it for a longer period of time. Just be sure to keep an eye on it so that it doesn't reduce too much.
- Serve the beef medallions with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
Conclusion:
Beef medallions in red wine reduction sauce is a classic dish that is sure to impress your guests. The beef is tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and delicious.
