The key to making perfect beef medallions is to use high-quality, thick-cut steaks and to cook them to the desired doneness. Medallions are best cooked over high heat to create a nice crust on the outside while leaving the inside tender and juicy. Serve the medallions with a variety of sauces, such as a classic demi-glace or a tangy horseradish sauce. Horseradish sauce adds a unique and spicy kick to the beef medallions, making them a memorable and satisfying dish.

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups quartered cherry tomatoes
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
¼ teaspoon white sugar
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons freshly grated raw horseradish, or to taste
⅓ cup creme fraiche
¼ teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 (3 ounce) beef top sirloin steaks
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon freshly grated raw horseradish, divided
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives, divided

Steps:

  • Place cherry tomatoes into a bowl and season with black pepper, salt, and sugar. Stir in rice wine vinegar. Let stand about 15 minutes to let flavors blend.
  • Stir 2 tablespoons horseradish into creme fraiche in a small bowl; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Cut steaks in half across the grain and pound each piece to about 3/8 inch thick. Season each side generously with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Lay steaks onto a work surface and sprinkle each piece lightly with flour. Pat the flour into the meat. Repeat on other side. Let meat rest for 10 minutes to let flour adhere.
  • Place a heavy skillet over medium-high heat, pour in vegetable oil, and heat until small wisps of smoke are visible rising off the oil. Lay steaks into the hot oil (meat should sizzle) and sear until browned, about 2 minutes per side. When you see beef juices accumulate on the surface of the meat, flip and brown the other side, about 2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and let rest for about 2 minutes.
  • Pour excess oil from the skillet and pour water into the skillet. Scrape up and dissolve any browned meat juices from the bottom of the skillet; continue to cook until slightly thickened, about 30 seconds. Pour pan juices over tomatoes and stir to combine.
  • Divide about half the tomato mixture with juice per serving into the bottom of 2 large soup plates. Top each with 2 beef medallions and a spoonful of horseradish cream. Grate about 1/2 teaspoon horseradish over each serving and top with about 1 teaspoon of chives.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

6 Yukon gold potatoes, washed, cut into 1/8-inch round slices
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons Herb Mix, recipe follows
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon truffle butter (can be store-bought)
Eight 4-ounce beef tenderloin medallions
Olive oil
6 tablespoons Herb Mix, recipe follows
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon shallots, minced
1/2 cup dried morels, soaked in warm water to cover for 30 minutes, strained, water reserved
1/4 cup brandy
3/4 cup veal stock
1/4 cup heavy cream
Salt and fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 tablespoon minced shallots
1 pound beet greens
1/2 pound arugula, stems removed
1 pound baby spinach
Salt and black pepper
1/4 cup tomato concasse (peeled, seeded, and cut into julienned strips)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1/4 cup Italian flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced potatoes with the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of Herb Mix. Season with salt and black pepper. Place potatoes on a baking tray. Roast potatoes in preheated oven for 15 minutes, until the edges just start to turn golden. Remove from oven and place potatoes into a glass bowl. While still warm, toss truffle butter with the potatoes. Cover with foil and keep warm until ready to serve.
  • For the medallions, coat all sides with olive oil. Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of Herb Mix per medallion on both sides. Season both sides of the medallions with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet, sear medallions on high heat until the outside is cooked. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • To make the sauce, use the same pan that the medallions were cooked in. The leftover residue from the beef will add extra flavor. Add the butter, 1 tablespoon of shallots, and morels. Saute for 3 minutes. Add brandy and flame off alcohol. Pour in reserved morel water and reduce by half. Once reduced, add the veal stock and bring to a simmer. Add the heavy cream and reduce to low heat. Simmer for one minute. Season with salt and black pepper. Leave in pan to maintain heat until ready to serve.
  • To make the warm salad greens, in a separate large saute pan with the olive oil, saute the shallots for 2 minutes. Then add the beet greens and arugula, saute until wilted. Remove from heat and toss in baby spinach. Season with salt and pepper.
  • To plate each serving, place a portion of the potatoes in the center of the plate. Then arrange each portion of the greens on top of the potatoes. Then place two medallions on top of the greens, leaning against each other. Then spoon a portion of the sauce around the potatoes, greens, and medallions. Garnish the top of the medallions with 1 tablespoon of tomato concasse. Serve and enjoy.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. A good choice for beef medallions is a tender cut, such as filet mignon or top sirloin. These cuts are lean and have a mild flavor, making them ideal for a quick sear.
  • Sear the beef medallions over high heat. This will create a nice crust on the outside of the meat while keeping the inside tender and juicy. You can sear the medallions in a skillet, on a grill, or under a broiler.
  • Don't overcook the beef medallions. Beef medallions are best cooked to medium-rare or medium. Overcooking will make the meat tough and dry.
  • Let the beef medallions rest before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
  • Serve the beef medallions with a flavorful sauce. A good choice for a sauce is a horseradish sauce, which is made with fresh horseradish, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Other good choices include a red wine sauce, a mushroom sauce, or a béarnaise sauce.

Conclusion:

Beef medallions are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following the tips in this article, you can create perfectly cooked beef medallions that are sure to impress your friends and family.
