Medallions:

Preparation
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

- Reduce over medium heat at a simmer, without bringing it to a rolling boil.
- Cook for about 25 minutes or until the wine has reduced by two thirds.
- Add the veal stock.
- Then gradually add the roux, whisking the sauce until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Pass the sauce through a sieve.
- Return it to the saucepan and add the butter, mixing constantly.
- Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
- Season the medallions with salt and pepper.
- In a frying pan, heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat.
- Once the butter foams, cook the medallions for 2 to 3 minutes on each side for rare, or a bit more if desired.
- Remove from the heat and set aside to rest for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Place the medallions on plates and top with the sauce.
- Serve with hash brown potatoes and a vegetable of your choice.
