Ingredients
  

For the Medallions
  • 2 pounds Beef Tenderloin Medallions Look for cuts with a deep red hue and minimal fat for best flavor
  • 4 cloves Garlic Use fresh for a robust aroma
  • 1 tablespoon Herbs (thyme, rosemary) Fresh herbs preferred for vibrant flavor
  • 4 tablespoons Butter Unsalted is best to control seasoning
  • 4 ounces Boursin Cheese Can be substituted with any soft cheese
For the Marinade (Optional)
  • 1 cup Soy Sauce Adds umami depth
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce Brings tangy complexity
  • 2 tablespoons Brown Sugar Can be swapped with honey
  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic For extra garlic punch

Equipment

  • skillet
  • Meat Thermometer
  • zip-top bag

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prep beef tenderloin medallions by removing silver skin, place in a zip-top bag. If marinating, mix soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and brown sugar, pour over beef, and let marinate for 1–2 hours. Allow medallions to sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes before cooking.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and sear the medallions for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden-brown. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; aim for 130°F for medium-rare.
  3. Remove medallions from the skillet and let them rest on a plate, covered loosely with aluminum foil for 5–10 minutes.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, add 2 tablespoons of butter, then minced garlic and fresh herbs. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Serve the rested medallions with the garlic herb butter sauce drizzled over them, and garnish with crumbled Boursin cheese. Pair with mashed potatoes or grilled vegetables.
