Ingredients

• 1 pound beef tenderloin, cut into 1-inch thick medallions
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Cheesy Beef Medallions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef medallions with salt, pepper, oregano, and basil.
3. Once the oil is hot, sear the medallions for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are browned. Transfer them to a baking dish.
4. While the medallions are searing, mix the minced garlic into the tomato sauce. Pour the sauce over the medallions in the baking dish.
5. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over each medallion.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the beef reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium rare.
7. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra flavor, marinate the beef in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before cooking.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness.
• If you prefer a different cheese, mozzarella or gouda can also work beautifully.
• Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet when searing; cook in batches if necessary.

Easy Variations

• Swap out the beef for chicken or turkey medallions for a lighter option.
• Add sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers to the sauce for extra depth.
• For a spicy kick, incorporate red pepper flakes into the tomato sauce.

What to Serve With It

• Creamy mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce
• Steamed broccoli or green beans for a fresh crunch
• A light side salad with vinaigrette for balance
• Garlic bread for an extra indulgent touch

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through. For best results, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until hot to maintain the cheese’s texture.
