Bacon wrapped beef medallions with smoked paprika butter

um, yes pleas!! this was SO good. and i bought the beef medallions ALREADY wrapped in bacon at kroger last week on sale. so all i did was brush the olive oil and add s&p. I did follow the butter recipe exactly though- just used regular paprika. YUM. and the butter will keep for months- so you can put it on grilled chicken, corn on the cob, whatever!

then i did these for a side: Balsamic roasted red potatoes:


* 2 tablespoons olive or canola oil
* 2 pounds small red potatoes, quartered
* 1 tablespoon finely chopped green onion
* 6 garlic cloves, minced
* 1 teaspoon dried thyme
* 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
* 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
* 3/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

1. In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, onion and garlic; toss to combine. Add the thyme, rosemary and nutmeg; toss well. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until potatoes are hot.
2. Transfer to a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan coated with nonstick cooking spray. Bake at 400 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are golden and almost tender. Add the vinegar, salt and pepper; toss well. Bake 5-8 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender.
