Ingredients:
For the Beef Medallions:
– 1 1/2 lbs beef tenderloin, cut into 1-inch thick medallions 
– 2 tablespoons olive oil 
– Salt and pepper to taste 
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme 
– 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
For the Garlic Butter:
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened 
– 4 cloves garlic, minced 
– 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
– 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (optional)
– 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional) 
– Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
1. Season the Beef Medallions:
– Pat the beef medallions dry with paper towels.
– Season both sides with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.
2. Prepare the Garlic Butter:
– In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, fresh thyme (if using), lemon juice (if using), salt, and pepper.
– Mix until well combined. Set aside.
3. Cook the Beef Medallions:
– Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
– Once hot, add the beef medallions. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
– Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the medallions and your preferred doneness. 
4. Add the Garlic Butter:

5. Rest and Serve:
– Remove the beef medallions from the skillet and transfer them to a serving platter.
– Let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
– Serve the beef medallions hot, with additional garlic butter drizzled on top if desired.
