- Recipe
- Mignon medallions (180 gr each)4 unit(s)
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil4 tablespoon
- Butter25 g
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Cognac to flambé3 tablespoon
- Crushed garlic3 unit(s)
- Mascarpone cheese2 tablespoon
- Fresh thyme to taste
- Season the medallions with salt and pepper on all sides.
- In a very hot skillet, put the oil and add the medallions. Leave for 2 minutes.
- Add the garlic cloves, turn the meat over and leave for another 2 minutes. Meanwhile put the butter giving a "bath" in the medallions.
- Flambé with the cognac.
- Turn off the fire. Remove the medallions from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Add the mascarpone to the skillet with the heat off and stir until it dissolves completely, forming a sauce.
- Return the meat over the sauce (turn on the fire and leave it for 1 min just to warm up)
- Finish with fresh thyme on top.
- TIPS: 🔸 the meat needs to be at room temperature and should only be seasoned when it goes to the skillet. 🔸 Medallions must be 2 fingers high. 🔸 this 2 min time is for the medallions to the point (very pink inside), if you prefer well done leave 3 to 4 min on each side. 🔸 you can replace mascarpone with milk cream or cream cheese. 🔸use an oil flavored with herbs (this one has thyme and rosemary)
