This was very good, very moist. It is a tad high in fat at 38% but a very good "once in awhile" dish. We served it over a small portion of basmati rice with steamed broccoli and carrot julienne, and with a Pino Grigio. A portion was taken off, with more balsamic put in, plus a TBSp of crushed pineapple - also very nice. Thank you for such a rounded recipe

Mmmm, good! I really enjoyed this dish. It had a wonderful flavor, and the tenderloin medallions remained very tender and juicy. My husband took some of the leftovers for lunch, and called to let me know that they were still amazingly tender and juicy even after being reheated in the microwave. It didn't even really require much effort, so the ease of preparation and the reward of the flavor means I will most definitely make this again. Thanks! :)
