How to Make Beef Tenderloin With Port Balsamic Sauce

  1. In a heavy small saucepan, combine 1 cup ruby port wine and 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the mixture reduces to 2/3 cup, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Season two (6-ounce) beef tenderloin steaks generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Lightly dust steaks with 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Add steaks to the skillet and sear for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or to your desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 130-135°F for medium-rare.
  7. Transfer steaks to a platter and tent loosely with foil to keep warm.
  8. Add 8 ounces of thick sliced white mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender and slightly browned.
  9. Pour the reduced port and balsamic mixture into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  10. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens.
  11. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons cold butter until melted and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
  12. Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
  13. Transfer steaks to plates, top with the mushroom port balsamic sauce, and serve immediately.
