1
Prepare the Beef
Start by trimming any excess fat from the beef tenderloin. Cut it into medallions, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
2
Season the Medallions
In a small bowl, mix together the salt and black pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over each beef medallion to ensure they are well seasoned.

3
Sear the Medallions
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beef medallions to the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4
Add Garlic and Rosemary
During the last minute of cooking, add the minced garlic and rosemary sprigs to the skillet. Spoon the oil over the medallions to infuse the flavors.
5
Deglaze the Pan (Optional)
If using, remove the medallions from the pan and set aside on a plate. Pour in the red wine to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes until reduced by half.
6
Finish with Butter (Optional)
If desired, stir in the butter into the reduced wine sauce until melted and well combined. Pour the sauce over the beef medallions before serving.
