Beef Medallions

Butter Topping

Béarnaise Sauce

Parmesan Mashed Potatoes

Grilled Asparagus

Method

Beef Medallions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Medallions

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

  2. 2

    Sear the Medallions

    Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the medallions for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they reach your desired doneness. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

Butter Topping

  1. 3

    Prepare the Butter Mixture

    In a bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, grated parmesan cheese, crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, cooked and crumbled smoked bacon, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.

  2. 4

    Top the Medallions

    Spread an equal amount of the butter mixture on top of each medallion. Place the medallions under a broiler for 2-3 minutes until the topping is golden and bubbly.

Béarnaise Sauce

  1. 5

    Make the Béarnaise

    In a saucepan, combine egg yolks, white wine vinegar, chopped shallot, and chopped fresh tarragon. Whisk over low heat until the mixture thickens. Slowly drizzle in melted unsalted butter while whisking continuously until the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Parmesan Mashed Potatoes

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Place in a pot of salted water and boil until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 7

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add unsalted butter, heavy cream, and grated parmesan cheese. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Grilled Asparagus

  1. 8

    Prepare the Asparagus

    Trim the asparagus ends and toss with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 9

    Grill the Asparagus

    Grill the asparagus over medium-high heat for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until tender and slightly charred.
