Ingredients
  

  • 4 beef tenderloin medallions (about 6 ounces each, 1-2 inches thick)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed

Notes

Tips/Notes

  • Choosing the Meat: Look for high-quality beef tenderloin. The fresher the meat, the better the flavor and texture.
  • Doneness: Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness. Overcooking can make even the tenderest cuts of meat less enjoyable.
  • Resting the Meat: Resting is crucial for juicy and flavorful medallions. Skipping this step can result in dry meat.
  • Serving Suggestions: Pair with a robust red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or a classic Bordeaux. A simple pan sauce made from the skillet drippings can also enhance the flavor.
