BEEF MEDALLIONS IN RED WINE REDUCTION SAUCE



BEEF MEDALLIONS IN RED WINE REDUCTION SAUCE image

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 lbs beef tenderloin
4 Tbsp (1/2 stick) butter, divided
4 large cloves garlic, chopped
3 large shallots, chopped (about 2/3 cup)
1 tsp dried thyme
1 Tbsp all purpose flour
2 cups canned beef broth
2 cups dry red wine

Steps:

  • Cut tenderloin into rounds and press to flatten to 1/4" thick medallions. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Melt 2 Tbsp butter in large heavy skillet over medium-high heat.

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.
