Beef medallions

Characteristics of eye round medallions

Eye round medallions are very low in fat. So they are ideal for anyone on a low-fat diet and athletes in need of valuable protein. As a leg muscle, the ligaw does a lot of motor work, so the meat structure contains a lot of connective tissue and the meat is much tougher than non-motor muscles.

The cooking techniques that will work best for this particular item are braising or pan-frying. You can make a perfectly tasty and tender dish out of medallions. You just need to know how to prepare them. It is definitely worth using a softening marinade before preparation and marinating the meat for up to 24 hours. Alternatively, you can break up the meat a bit, just like you break up a pork loin for a pork chop. It is worth complementing the dish with a flavorful, creamy sauce. 

It's also a great cut of meat for tartare lovers, and it comes at a very attractive price.
