How to Make Beef Tenderloin With Port Rosemary Sauce

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup finely chopped shallots and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup dry red wine and 1/4 cup ruby port wine.
  4. Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes.
  5. Add 1 cup beef broth and 2 sprigs fresh rosemary. Continue to boil until the liquid is reduced to 1 cup, about 10-15 minutes.
  6. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve and set aside.
  7. In a separate large heavy skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat.
  8. Season a 1-pound beef tenderloin generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  9. Sear the beef tenderloin for 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting cooking time as needed for desired doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches your preferred internal temperature.
  10. Transfer the beef to a serving platter and tent loosely with foil to keep warm.
  11. Add the strained port wine sauce to the skillet that the beef was cooked in. Bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  12. Reduce heat to low. Gradually whisk in 2 tablespoons cold butter, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce is emulsified and slightly thickened. Do not boil.
  13. Stir in 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary.
  14. Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
  15. Spoon the sauce generously over the beef tenderloin and serve immediately.
