Pan Roasted Beef Medallions Recipes

BEEF MEDALLIONS WITH CARAMELIZED PAN SAUCE

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.

• This sauce can be refrigerated for 2 to 3 days.
• Yukon Gold Potato Purée:.
• Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water, twice the volume of the potatoes.

• While potatoes are still hot, peel and then press them through a potato ricer into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and begin to incorporate the hot cream and butter.

• Keep warm.
• Beef Medallions:.

• It is important not to crowd meat in pan or it will steam not pan roast.

• To Serve:.
• Heat 8 dinner plates.

PAN ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°.
• Trim silverskin and fat from tenderloin; wash it and dry well with paper towels. Truss the meat with cotton string at every inch to create a round profile. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over high heat.
• Rub meat with olive oil. Then salt and pepper just before searing to prevent juices from leeching. This promotes maximum browning.
• Sear on all sides until browned, about three rotations, 1 minute each. Roast in oven 20 - 30 minutes, turning tenderloin over halfway through cooking for even browning. When temperature reads 130° (medium-rare), remove from oven. Cover the roast with aluminum foil and let rest 10 minutes before cutting into 1 1/2" slices.
