Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs beef tenderloin, sliced into 1 to 1.5-inch medallions
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp Dijon mustard
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Place tenderloin medallions in a shallow dish or zip-top bag and pour marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.
Remove medallions from the marinade and let excess drip off. Discard the used marinade.
Grill medallions for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer for desired doneness.
Transfer to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For best flavor, marinate overnight.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness (135°F for medium-rare).
Pairs well with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
