MEDALIONS RECIPES

Steps:

• Season beef medallions with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
• Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat. Cook beef until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove beef to a warm plate.
• Reduce heat to medium; cook and stir mushrooms, 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, olive oil, and a pinch of salt in the skillet until mushrooms are very well browned, about 10 minutes.
• Mix in tomato sauce; cook and stir until tomato sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
• Pour in Marsala wine and increase heat to high. Cook, scraping browned bits from bottom of skillet. Once most of the wine has evaporated, stir in broth and bring to a boil; cook and stir until broth mixture has reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and return beef to broth mixture; simmer until beef is cooked to medium-rare, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer beef to serving plates.
• Remove skillet from heat. Cook and stir 1 1/2 tablespoons butter and oregano into the sauce until butter melts. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
• Spoon sauce over beef and serve immediately.

Steps:

• NOTE: Use herbs such as sage, thyme, rosemary, and Italian parsley.
• Place beef medallions on a small flat dish. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons olive oil over top, along with herbs of choice and garlic.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove from refrigerator and bring to room temperature before roasting.
• Preheat oven to 400°.
• Bring a sauté pan to high heat. Add remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
• Sprinkle pepper on medallions and sear until they are a rich brown color, about 2 minutes per side.
• Lightly sprinkle with salt and place in oven for about 8 minutes for medium rare; remove from oven to a warm place to rest the meat for another 5 minutes.
• Prep time does not include overnight refrigeration.
