Description
A delicious and hearty meal combining tender beef medallions with creamy, cheesy goodness, transforming classic baked potatoes into a filling dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed and halved
- 4 beef tenderloin medallions (about 4 oz each)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub halved potatoes lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Place cut side down on a baking sheet and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until tender and golden.
- While potatoes bake, season steak medallions generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the medallions for 3–4 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest.
- In the same skillet, lower heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream, stirring gently.
- Add Parmesan cheese and Dijon mustard, whisking until the sauce is smooth and thickened, about 3–5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Scoop out a shallow cavity from each baked potato half. Place a seared medallion into each and generously spoon the Parmesan cream sauce over the top.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm on a platter.
Notes
Make sure to season your steak well for the best flavor. Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a richer taste. Don’t overcook the potatoes; they should be tender but not mushy.
