Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons butter, softened
3 tablespoons flour
3 cups beef broth
6 tablespoons madeira wine
2 1/4 lbs beef tenderloin
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
6 tablespoons blue cheese
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
1/4 cup chives, chopped
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns, crushed
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine the butter and the flour together.
  • Bring the beef broth and madiera to a boil.
  • Whisk in the butter and flour mixture until completely dissolved.
  • Simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the liquid is thickened and reduced by half.
  • While the sauce is simmering, preheat the oven to 350*F.
  • Spray the rack of a roasting pan with nonstick spray and place in the pan.
  • Slice the tenderloin into 6 portions that are approximately 3 inched in diameter and 1 1/2 inches thick.
  • Tie butcher's twine around the beef medallions so they maintain their shape while cooking if desired.
  • Combine the breadcrumbs, blue cheese, parsley, chives and pepper to form a paste.
  • Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over high heat.
  • Sear the medallions until just browned, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
  • Arrange the medallions in a roasting pan.
  • Coat the top side of each medallion with 3 TBs of the blue cheese and herb crust.
  • Roast until the crust is golden brown and the meat is cooked as desired, about 6 to 8 minutes for medium rare, depending on the size of the medallions.
  • If butchers twine was used, be sure to remove it.
  • Serve the medallions on a pool of the warm madiera sauce.
