Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Medallions

    Season the beef tenderloin medallions with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Steak

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the medallions and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until your desired doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are browned and tender, about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Make the Sauce

    Add the brandy to the skillet, scraping the bottom to deglaze, and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes. Then stir in the veal demi-glace and Dijon mustard, mixing well. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Return the medallions to the skillet, coating them with the sauce. Cook for an additional minute to heat through. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
