Ingredients

6 ounce Beef tenderloin

Directions

1
Trim excess fat from the beef tenderloin and cut into 6 medallions. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2
Heat clarified butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
3
Sear the beef medallions for 2-3 minutes per side, depending on desired doneness. Remove from pan and keep warm on a plate.
4
Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic to the same skillet and sautÃÂ© for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
5
Add the peeled, seeded tomatoes and demi-glace to the skillet. Stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
6
Simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes until it reduces slightly and thickens.
7
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh tarragon. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
8
Spoon the warm tomato-tarragon sauce over the beef medallions and serve immediately.
