medallions
Meat cuts, circular
Medallions are large, decorative medals or coin-shaped ornaments, often worn as jewelry or displayed as awards.
In cooking, medallions are small, round, thick slices of meat—typically beef, pork, or veal: medallions of filet mignon in a wine reduction.
The shape echoes the original: flat, circular, and uniform.
