Beef Tarragon
Canada's Via Rail Train

Makes 4 to 6 servings

 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
 One 2-pound beef tenderloin, cut into 1/2-inch medallions
 1 cup minced onions
 1 tablespoon minced garlic
 1 cup red wine
 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves
 One 13+3/4-ounce beef broth
 2/3 cup plain low-fat yogurt
 Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1. In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, warm the oil with the butter
until bubbling. Add the beef medallions and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes on each
side (longer if you desire the beef to be well done). Remove the beef to a
serving platter and keep warm.

2. Using the same sauté pan, combine the onions and garlic and cook for 3 to
5 minutes. Add the wine, mustard, tarragon, beef broth, and stir thoroughly.
Reduce the heat to medium, stir in the yogurt, and simmer the sauce for 5 to
7 minutes, until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Spoon the sauce over the beef medallions and serve immediately.
