Medallions of Beef

By Derrick Riches, About.com

Medallions of beef tenderloin marinated in an Asian inspired marinade, grilled hot and fast, then served in a sweet mango, white wine sauce. The grill brings out the mildly spicy, yet sweet flavor of this dish. This is excellent served over white rice or with grilled vegetables of your choice.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 4 medallions of beef tenderloin(about 1 1/2 inches thick)
  • Marinade:

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons minced onion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced

  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 1/4 cup beef stock
  • 1/4 cup chopped shallots
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons warm water
