03.08.2019 Lean dishes

Beef medallions can be ordered at the best restaurants in Bishkek. Maybe you even tried to cook them at home. But, most likely, it turned out not so tasty and juicy as in a restaurant. This is because you do not know how to cook them.

At least, I personally realized that the problem was precisely in me. Although before the master class, chef Roman Dubnitsky thought that some special products were needed. I note that under the guidance of the master we got excellent medallions. Already cooked them at home - and everything turned out just fine. So it works.

Roman Dubnitsky is a graduate of the most prestigious school Le Cordon Bleu - a kind of Cambridge and Harvard in cooking. For six years he worked under the leadership of the renowned chef Roland Passo Michelin-starred restaurant "La Foley" (San Francisco, California). Received invaluable management lessons in the team of chef Alain Ducas, whose name has become a global brand. With him, Roman participates in the opening of restaurants at the Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide hotel W.

In Kazakhstan, he worked as the brand-chef of the AB restaurant chain with Askar Baitasov, launched 15 different project plans. Since 2015, he has periodically worked on television, and since the beginning of 2017, he has been a permanent host and chef in the culinary program Magic of Kitchen. Since opening in September 2012, she has been conducting various master classes and private events in the Compote culinary studio (Almaty).

The private workshop was organized by Herbalife at Cook Story.

So, today we will prepare beef medallions with baked vegetables in tomato sauce. Note that these three dishes can be prepared separately. Medallions can be served with any side dish. Baked vegetables will be delicious not only with meat, but also with chicken, fish or just that.

Well, the sauce ... We’ll talk about the sauce separately.

Beef Medallions

We will need:

  1. beef tenderloin bon fillet (whole)
  2. pepper
  3. olive oil - 3-4 tablespoons
  4. cotton twine.

Step 1. Choose the meat.

We take the tenderloin of tenderloin - this is the lumbar part of the carcass. During the life of the animal, this muscle tissue receives almost no physical activity, therefore it is the most tender and delicious.


“You can’t buy such meat in any meat department, because it’s the most valuable part of the carcass. So come to the market, see who has the best meat and order bon fillets. In general, girls, meat and husband should be chosen according to one rule : if you like it - only then take it. But not like that, grabbed what's left, or you need to take something anyway, "says Roman Dubnitsky.

The novel said another wonderful thing that we know, but it's always nice to hear:

"They sell excellent meat in Kyrgyzstan. I like your meat more than in Kazakhstan."

Note that for this dish meat needs to be fresh, it cannot be frozen.

Step 2. Prepare the meat.

This is the most important step. Our task is to free our future medallions from films, veins and all that will not be chewed.


To do this, put the clipping on the board in front of us and cut off the hanging parts (the so-called tongues and ears).


We hold the knife while lifting the blade at a slight angle.

We cut the cut-off part with a non-working hand parallel to the table.


Now we cut a piece across the fibers of 3-3.5 centimeters. Get 7-9 medallions from one piece of tenderloin.

Step 3. Give the meat a shape.

So that the medallions do not lose their shape during processing, they must be tightly tied up against the fibers with twine, as if you were belting the meat. You can tie it on two knots or on a bow. The ends of the twine should not be very long, but you also do not need to try to cut them as short as possible.


Step 4. Salt and pepper.

The meat does not need any spices. Only salt and pepper. We take the most ordinary salt. The novel advises in this case to take not iodinated, otherwise a metallic taste will appear. It is better to salt with a hand, and not from a salt shaker, so the salt will lie more evenly. At the same time, the hand should be 30 centimeters higher than the piece of meat (this is also necessary for uniformity of salting out). But you can only pepper from the mill - otherwise the aroma of spice will disappear.


Step 5. Fry the meat

We put a dry pan on the fire, heat it. Then add a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil. Warm up the oil. Now fry our medallions from all sides. Turn over with tongs. On each side we hold 20-30 seconds. In order for the meat to be fried evenly, it will take about seven coups (five in a circle, top and bottom).


This is a very important process, it is needed to "seal" the meat and prevent the juice from flowing out. The juiciness of our dish depends on this process. The main thing is sound and color. The meat laid out in a pan (you can fry several pieces at once) should pleasantly pluck. A fried piece of meat is pleasing to the eye.


Step 6. Bake the meat.

Now the meat must be brought to readiness. We put it on the grid from the pan, remove the twine and put it in the oven, heated to 200 degrees, for 7-12 minutes (depending on the thickness of the medallion and the degree of desired cooking).


Do not forget to place a baking sheet under the wire rack. If there is a convection mode, it is better to turn it on.


Everything, the meat is ready.

Baked vegetables

Bulgarian pepper (it is better to take multi-colored) - 3 pieces

Eggplant - 3 pieces

Red onion - one middle head

Garlic - 3-4 cloves

Zucchini - 2 pieces

Basil - half a bunch or bunch

Cilantro or other greens to taste - half a bunch or a bunch

Thyme (aka our thyme) - two or three branches

Salt, Olive Oil, Sugar

Step 1. Wash and clean the vegetables.

Well, here, I think, no one needs to explain anything. Mine as usual. Pepper clear of seeds. Eggplant soak is not necessary.

"It’s some kind of myth that untreated eggplants are bitter,” Roman said. “Normal, properly cooked eggplants will not be bitter. Just washing and removing the stem is enough.”


Zucchini can not be peeled. Peppers can be taken and ordinary green, but multi-colored will make the dish more beautiful. Same thing with onions. In addition, red onions are more tender.

Step 2. Cut the vegetables.

We cut eggplant and pepper into bars 4 cm long and 2 cm wide.


Cut the onion into 8 pieces.


Grind the garlic.

We cut zucchini into thin plates using a special knife for peeling vegetables.


Step 3. Add the spices.

We put the prepared vegetables on a baking sheet, add the leaves of thyme.


Sauce

We will need:

Herbalife Tomato Soup with Basil - 1 tbsp. spoon per serving


Repeat again. The sauce can be any. But traditionally, tomato sauce is served with meat and vegetables. It can be made independently from tomatoes, onions, spices, passing all this through a meat grinder and evaporating excess moisture over a fire. You can buy ready-made ketchup (but it must contain vinegar that drowns the taste of meat. Or you can have an excellent sauce of tomato soup with Herbalife basil).

Step one. Cooking the sauce.

We prepare the sauce according to the instructions indicated on the package. We added a little more water to get the sauce, not the soup.

Step 2. We try.

The beauty of this particular sauce is that you don’t have to bother. After all, meat and vegetables are ready. And the sauce needs to be done very quickly. But still try the sauce before serving: maybe you want to add some spices.


We spread vegetables, zucchini, a medallion on a plate, pour sauce. Before serving, add fresh herbs, chopped as usual.

Only at first glance it may seem that a dish with such an unusual name is difficult to prepare, but in fact it is not at all. The recipe for beef medallions is very simple, they are prepared from a tenderloin or an apple, wrapped with bacon and served with sauce so that the meat is not dry.

What are beef medallions

Meat medallions are a delicacy of French cuisine. It is a small piece of beef round or oval in shape, about 1.5 cm thick. They are fried in a pan or baked in the oven. Ideal with vegetables and cereals. This dish is popular in many countries of the world, it is considered a restaurant, but with the necessary ingredients, it will not be difficult to cook it at home.

How to Make Beef Medallions

When choosing meat, it is better to give preference to fresh meat of young animals. Medallions are prepared from such a part of the carcass as a tenderloin or bullseye (the muscle of the outer thigh). In extreme cases, you can use frozen meat, but this will affect the structure and taste of the finished dish. It is not necessary to beat the tenderloin, it is already very tender. If you use other meat, then you need to beat it evenly, previously wrapping in cling film.

Beef needs to be cut across the fibers. If you can’t cut a beautiful medallion, then make minced meat, then form round cutlets. In restaurants, you can also find minced medallions. They are also called lazy. You can make the meat even more tender by pickling. Also, after roasting based on meat fat, sauces are prepared, mainly with the addition of wine and cream.

Marinade for juicy medallions

The easiest way to quickly and tasty marinate meat is to mix any vegetable oil with spices. Grated onions, garlic, ginger, dried and fresh herbs such as thyme, rosemary can be used for this. Beef is well marinated in soy sauce, mustard. The combination of meat with citrus juices will be interesting. You can also pour meat with dry wine or champagne.

Recipe

Medallions are fried mainly in ghee from two sides or wrapped in foil and baked in the oven. This option is preferable, since the meat is cooked in its own juice, it turns out more tasty and healthy. You can also cook them in a slow cooker. There is a combined method of cooking, when the meat is first lightly fried to a delicious crust, then baked in the oven.

Five secrets of delicious medallions

To make the beef medallions prepared with your hands perfect in taste and technique, use five secrets from professional culinary specialists:

  1. Do not salt the meat before cooking. It will immediately release the juice and it will turn out to be very dry. Add salt after the formation of a golden crust.
  2. Cook breaded medallions. For this, ordinary breadcrumbs or ground nuts, sesame seeds, chickpeas, rice flour or corn starch are suitable.
  3. Wet meat does not form a golden brown. Pat the marinated meat or beef slices without pretreatment with a paper towel and only then send them to fry.
  4. If the meat turned out to be dry, then fill it with creamy or sour cream sauce and put in the oven for 20 minutes at a temperature of no more than 120 ° C. Beef will become more juicy.
  5. Check the readiness of the meat with a toothpick or wooden skewer. If the juice is clear at the puncture site, then the medallions are ready.
