Grilled Beef Medallion Recipes

Steps:

• Marinate the beef with salt and pepper; grill and cook, according to desired taste.
• For the salsa, heat the oil in a pan and saute mushrooms and onion. Add white wine and cook for 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and leave it to cool.
• Combine the olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a bowl and add the sauteed mushrooms, spring onion, basil, asparagus and cherry tomatoes. Mix all ingredients well and season with salt and pepper.
• To make the potato cakes, combine the grated potatoes, salt, pepper and parsley.
• Heat the oil in a pan and add metal ring (8cm diameter; 1-2cm high). Fill the ring to the brim with potato mixture and cook until golden brown on both sides.

Steps:

• Prepare beef: Trim off excess fat with a sharp knife. Fold thin tip end under to approximate the thickness of the rest of the roast. Tie with butcher's twine, then keep tying the roast with twine every 11/2 to 2 inches (to help the roast keep its shape). Snip silverskin with scissors to keep roast from bowing during cooking. Then, mix oil, garlic, rosemary, thyme, pepper and salt; rub over roast to coat. Set meat aside.
• Either build a charcoal fire in half the grill or turn all gas burners on high for 10 minutes. Lubricate grate with an oil-soaked rag using tongs. Place beef on hot rack and close lid; grill until well-seared, about 5 minutes. Turn meat and close lid; grill until well-seared on second side, another 5 minutes.
• Move meat to the charcoal grill's cool side, or turn off burner directly underneath the meat and turn remaining one or two burners (depending on grill style) to medium. Cook until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest section registers 130 degrees for rosy pink, 45 to 60 minutes, depending on tenderloin size and grill. Let meat rest 15 minutes before carving.

Steps:

• A half-hour before cooking, remove the medallions from refrigerator.
• Sauce: Put the shallots, garlic, vinegar, and all the herbs in a food processor and pulse until herbs are minced, with the motor running slowly drizzle in the olive oil until you have a thick sauce. Season with salt and pepper and the sauce is ready to serve.
• Prepare a grill or a stove top grill pan with a medium-high heat fire.
• Brush meat lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place medallions on the grill and cook, without moving, until nice grill marks appear, about 4 minutes. Turn the medallions and continue to grill until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the medallions sideways registers about 120 degrees F, about 3 to 4 minutes more. Set aside on a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
• Divide medallions among plates and drizzle with some of the sauce. Serve. Pass the remaining sauce at the table.

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.
