About this cut

What it is and how to use it

Medallions are small, round slices cut across the tenderloin, usually about an inch thick. They are lean, very tender, and cook in a few minutes per side, which makes them ideal for pan sauces. They can also be cut from other lean parts of the loin. They are handy for quick dinners and small portions.

Cook’s tipSear in a hot pan for a few minutes per side to 145°F, then rest three minutes. Build a quick pan sauce from the browned bits.
