Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Trim any silver skin from the beef tenderloin medallions to avoid chewiness. Pat them dry with paper towels.
  2. Optional: Create a marinade with soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and brown sugar; marinate for 1-2 hours.
  3. Heat a large skillet over high heat for about 3-4 minutes. Season the beef medallions generously with salt and cracked pepper.
  4. Add oil to the hot skillet and sear the medallions for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
  5. Make the sauce by adding butter, garlic, and herbs to the skillet. Stir until the garlic is fragrant and the butter melts.
  6. Let the cooked medallions rest for 5-10 minutes before serving with the garlic herb butter sauce.
