Medalhão de Filé Mignon offers a rich and savory flavor profile, balancing the tenderness of the beef with smoky bacon and a creamy, often mushroom-based, sauce.
The key flavors come from the high-quality beef tenderloin, which provides a naturally tender and mild taste. The bacon adds a salty, smoky, and crispy element that complements the beef. The sauce, typically a creamy mushroom sauce (molho de cogumelos) or a wine-based reduction, adds richness, depth, and umami. Garlic, onions, and herbs often enhance the sauce.
Premium Feature
Beef Quality
Use high-quality beef tenderloin for the best tenderness and flavor. Look for well-marbled cuts.
Bacon Selection
Choose a flavorful bacon that isn't overly salty. Smoked bacon can add a nice depth of flavor.
Doneness Level
Cook the medalhões to your desired doneness. Medium-rare to medium is generally recommended to maintain tenderness.
Sauce Perfection
Use fresh, high-quality mushrooms and real cream for a rich and flavorful sauce. Deglaze the pan with wine for extra depth.
Resting Period
Allow the medalhões to rest for a few minutes after cooking before slicing and serving. This helps retain juices and ensures tenderness.
