Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Beef     Steaks     Sirloin Steak Recipes

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.

Tips:

  • To ensure your turkey medallions are cooked evenly and remain tender, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The safe internal temperature for cooked turkey is 165°F (74°C).
  • For a more flavorful tomato salad, use a variety of tomatoes, such as cherry tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, and heirloom tomatoes. You can also add other vegetables to the salad, such as cucumbers, bell peppers, or onions.
  • If you don't have fresh basil on hand, you can use dried basil instead. Just be sure to use half the amount, as dried herbs are more concentrated than fresh herbs.
  • For a tangy dressing, use a combination of lemon juice and olive oil. You can also add a bit of honey or agave nectar to sweeten the dressing, if desired.
  • To make a quick and easy crouton, simply toss some cubed bread with olive oil and herbs, then bake in the oven until golden brown.

Conclusion:

Turkey medallions with tomato salad is a light and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The turkey medallions are tender and juicy, while the tomato salad is flavorful and tangy. This dish is also relatively easy to make, making it a great option for a weeknight meal. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious meal, give this recipe a try!
