Total Time::35 mins

Servings::4

Ingredients

1 pound beef tenderloin steaks, cut into 4 medallions

salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

2 teaspoons butter

1 pinch salt

1 cup sliced sweet and hot peppers

4 cloves garlic, crushed

½ cup white wine

¼ teaspoon dried oregano

1 cup tomato concassé (see Recipe Tip for the recipe link)

2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar

1 pinch red pepper flakes

1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Season steak medallions with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add steaks and cook until browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Reserve oil in skillet.

Place mushrooms and butter into the skillet and season with salt; cook and stir until mushrooms are softened and beginning to brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; add peppers and cook and stir until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute. Pour in wine and sprinkle in dried oregano. Increase heat to medium-high and cook until the wine is nearly evaporated, about 3 minutes.

Stir tomato concassé into the mushroom mixture and simmer until tomato is softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add fresh oregano, balsamic vinegar, and red pepper flakes; stir to combine. Adjust salt and black pepper to taste.

Place steaks back into the skillet with the mushroom mixture and cook until warmed through and cooked to desired doneness, 4 to 10 minutes.
