Beef medallions with sweet tomato salad and creamy horseradish sauce offer a quick and elegant main course.
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups quartered cherry tomatoes
  • 0.25 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated raw horseradish, or to taste
  • 0.33333334326744 cup creme fraiche
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 2 (3 ounce) beef top sirloin steaks
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated raw horseradish, divided
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives, divided
Instructions:
  • In a bowl, combine cherry tomatoes with black pepper, salt, and sugar. Mix in rice wine vinegar and allow to sit for 15 minutes to enhance flavors.
  • Mix 2 tablespoons of horseradish into creamy creme fraiche in a small bowl, and season with a pinch of 1/2 teaspoon salt. Chill until ready to use.
  • Halve steaks and flatten each to 3/8 inch thickness. Season generously with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne. Lay on work surface and lightly dust with flour on both sides, gently patting it in. Rest for 10 minutes to allow flour to stick.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until wisps of smoke appear. Sear steaks in the hot oil for about 2 minutes on each side until browned and juices accumulate on the surface. Rest on a plate for 2 minutes before serving.
  • Drain off any extra oil from the skillet and add water. Deglaze the skillet by scraping up and dissolving any browned meat juices; cook until slightly thickened, about 30 seconds. Pour the flavorful pan juices over the tomatoes and mix well.
  • Spread a generous portion of the tomato mixture with juice at the bottom of 2 large soup plates. Place 2 beef medallions on top of each plate and add a dollop of horseradish cream. Sprinkle around 1/2 teaspoon of grated horseradish over each serving and garnish with approximately 1 teaspoon of chives.
