Preparing medallions Medallions of beef are an interesting way of cooking meat. The dish can be made from any meat - pork, chicken, but they say that the most delicious beef medallions. This name of the dish has acquired an external similarity with the decoration of a round shape. Our cutlet, if you can call it so, should get a round shape, or rather, the shape of the cylinder. To get this result, you need to use a culinary thread, but in the beginning, in addition to the diameter, wrap the cutlet with a strip of bacon. Bacon during the frying will add juiciness to the medallion, and the culinary thread will allow the cutlet to retain its cylindrical shape. Sauce to the medallion you can cook any. I suggest you complement the taste of meat with creamy garlic sauce. I will not say that it is difficult to prepare this dish, but you can not call it everyday, medallions, most likely, you will prepare for a festive dinner.
