DELECTABLE SAVORY GARLIC BUTTER BEEF MEDALLIONS

For the Beef Medallions:

1 lb beef tenderloin, cut into medallions (about 1-inch thick)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme or rosemary, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (optional for extra flavor)
For the Garlic Butter Sauce:

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:

For the Beef Medallions:

Season the beef: Pat the beef medallions dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

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

Make the garlic butter: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic, thyme (or rosemary), and Worcestershire sauce (if using). Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the butter is infused with the herbs.

Return the beef: Return the medallions to the skillet, spooning the garlic butter over the top to coat. Let the medallions cook in the garlic butter for another minute, then remove from heat.

For the Garlic Butter Sauce:

Prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Serve: Plate the beef medallions and drizzle with the garlic butter sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve alongside mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a light salad for a complete meal.

Helpful Tips:

For a richer flavor, add a splash of red wine to the garlic butter sauce.
Let the beef rest for a few minutes after cooking to retain its juiciness.
Serve with a side garlic bread t soak the extra butter sauce.
