Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the roasted garlic by cutting the top off the head of garlic, drizzling it with a little olive oil, and wrapping it in aluminum foil. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the cloves are soft and caramelized. Allow to cool slightly, then squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins and set aside.
- In a shallow dish, combine the chopped toasted pecans, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Press each beef medallion into the pecan mixture, ensuring an even coating.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef medallions and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the medallions from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the butter and melt over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned.
- Gradually whisk in the beef broth, stirring constantly. Add the roasted garlic and Worcestershire sauce, and continue to cook until the gravy thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Return the beef medallions to the skillet, spooning some of the gravy over the top. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the medallions to absorb the flavors.
- Serve the beef medallions topped with the silky roasted garlic gravy and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs.
Notes
For a twist, you can add a splash of white wine to the gravy for additional flavor.
