Espresso-Rubbed Beef Medallions

Beef medallions, or filets mignons, are incomparably tender, but we believe they usually need a boost in the flavor department. This simple coffee-based rub perks the meat up perfectly. The beef’s brief smoking time means that you can skip any mopping procedure in this recipe. Just add a bit of butter to the top of each medallion as it comes out of the smoker. A few splashes of Worcestershire sauce can be a welcome addition at the table.
