Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs beef tenderloin, cut into 1-inch thick medallions
• 1 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley and chives)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 lb potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup butter
• Olive oil for cooking
• Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

How to Make Stuffed Beef Medallions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, chopped herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
3. Using a sharp knife, create a pocket in the center of each beef medallion. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
4. Stuff each medallion generously with the cheese mixture, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
5. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed medallions for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
7. While the beef is baking, boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
8. Add milk and butter to the drained potatoes, then mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
9. Once the beef is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Top each medallion with a generous scoop of the creamy mashed potatoes.
10. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, then serve warm.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the beef is at room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
• Don’t overstuff the medallions; a generous amount will do without spilling out.
• Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; adjust cooking time for thicker cuts.
• Let the beef rest after cooking to keep it juicy.

Easy Variations

• Try different cheeses like goat cheese or feta for a unique flavor.
• Add sautéed spinach or mushrooms to the cheese filling for extra texture and flavor.
• Replace the mashed potatoes with a creamy polenta for a twist on the topping.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh garden salad dressed with a light vinaigrette.
• Roasted seasonal vegetables, such as asparagus or Brussels sprouts.
• Crusty bread or garlic bread to soak up the delicious juices.
• A glass of red wine to complement the rich flavors of the beef.
