2️⃣ Make the Sauce:
• In the same pan, sauté the chopped onion and garlic until translucent.

• Add heavy cream, whole-grain mustard, Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice.
• Simmer over medium heat for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.

4️⃣ Serve & Enjoy:

Pair these creamy beef medallions with mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.

Tips & Variations

✔ For extra depth, add a splash of white wine while deglazing the pan.
✔ Prefer a richer sauce? Stir in a small knob of butter at the end.
✔ Adjust doneness: Cook rare (50°C), medium-rare (55°C), medium (60°C), or well-done (70°C).
✔ Make it dairy-free: Substitute coconut cream for heavy cream.
