Beef Medallions with Caramelized Pan Sauce

Beef Medallions with Caramelized Pan Sauce
  • 2 pounds beef tenderloin, trimmed, cut into 8 (4-ounce) medallions
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 8 sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/3 cup Marsala wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into cubes


  1. Season beef medallions with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat. Cook beef until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove beef to a warm plate.
  3. Reduce heat to medium; cook and stir mushrooms, 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, olive oil, and a pinch of salt in the skillet until mushrooms are very well browned, about 10 minutes.
  4. Mix in tomato sauce; cook and stir until tomato sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
  5. Pour in Marsala wine and increase heat to high. Cook, scraping browned bits from bottom of skillet. Once most of the wine has evaporated, stir in broth and bring to a boil; cook and stir until broth mixture has reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
  6. Reduce heat to low and return beef to broth mixture; simmer until beef is cooked to medium-rare, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer beef to serving plates.
  7. Remove skillet from heat. Cook and stir 1 1/2 tablespoons butter and oregano into the sauce until butter melts. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
  8. Spoon sauce over beef and serve immediately.
