Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Beef tenderloin medallions
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 4 tablespoons Vegan butter (dairy-free substitute)
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Remove the steak medallions from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to bring them to room temperature. This ensures even cooking.
Season both sides of the steak medallions with salt and pepper. Pat the seasoning into the meat to adhere.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add avocado oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the steak medallions onto the pan without overcrowding. Sear each side for about 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, or until reaching your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer if needed (135°F for medium-rare).
Transfer the cooked steaks to a plate and loosely tent with foil. Let rest for 5 minutes so the juices redistribute.
While the steaks are resting, prepare the garlic herb butter. In a small bowl, combine the vegan butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
Once the steaks have rested, serve each medallion topped with a dollop of the garlic herb butter. The butter will melt and create a rich, flavorful sauce.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
