Steps:
- Place the beef and broth in a 6-quart Dutch oven, making sure the beef is totally covered by the stock, and cover with foil, leaving a small opening for steam to escape. Poke a small hole in the foil and insert an instant-read thermometer into the meat. Cook over low heat until the beef reaches 125 degrees F, 55 to 60 minutes. Transfer the beef to a cutting board and let stand 10 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, bring the port to a boil and then reduce until about 1/3 cup. Remove from the heat and whisk in the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
- To serve, slice the beef, top with sauce and garnish with parsley.
- What Makes This Recipe Really Sing: Because the beef is brought to temperature up so slowly, it is very tender. It would make a killer steak sandwich.

- For sauce:
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add shallots; sauté until soft, 3 minutes. Add Cognac, rosemary, and 1 teaspoon cracked pepper and cook until liquid evaporates, 1 minute. Add Port; bring to simmer. Add all of beef stock. Boil until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 20 minutes. Strain into medium saucepan, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids in strainer. DO AHEAD: Can be made 24 to 36 hours ahead. Cool slightly, then cover and chill.
- For roasting:
- Let beef stand at room temperature 1 hour before roasting. Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 425°F.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Season beef with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef, and brown on all sides.
- Toss mushrooms with remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Add mushrooms and 3 thyme sprigs to skillet; place in oven. Cook until beef registers 125 degrees for medium-rare, 18 to 20 minutes. Let stand 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with mushrooms and shallot-brandy sauce. Garnish with thyme.
Tips:
- For the perfect medium-rare steak, cook the tenderloin for 10-12 minutes per side.
- If you prefer a more well-done steak, cook it for an additional 2-3 minutes per side.
- To make sure the steak is cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The steak should be cooked to an internal temperature of 135 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare and 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
- Let the steak rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the steak, resulting in a more tender and flavorful steak.
- To make the mushroom port sauce, use a variety of mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
- Be sure to sauté the mushrooms until they are golden brown and tender.
- Use a good quality port wine for the sauce. A tawny port or a ruby port will work well.
- Reduce the sauce until it is thick and flavorful.
- Serve the steak with the mushroom port sauce and your favorite sides.
