Sauce: Put the shallots, garlic, vinegar, and all the herbs in a food processor
and pulse until herbs are minced, with the motor running slowly drizzle in the
olive oil until you have a thick sauce. Season with salt and pepper and the sauce
is ready to serve.
 
Prepare a grill or a stove top grill pan with a medium-high heat fire.
 
Brush meat lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place
medallions on the grill and cook, without moving, until nice grill marks appear,
about 4 minutes. Turn the medallions and continue to grill until an instant-read
thermometer inserted into the medallions sideways registers about 120 degrees F,
about 3 to 4 minutes more. Set aside on a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes
before serving.
