BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH ROASTED SHALLOTS

This recipe is modified from Christine's at Allrecipes.com. It is a gourmet-style meal that is great for a dinner party with the boss. A little time consuming but will make a novice look like a pro. The shallot sauce alone is worth the recipe. I made this and doubled the recipe. No leftovers. Will have to triple it next time! You can prepare the shallots a day ahead of time (especially helpful if you plan on serving this for a holiday dinner).

Time 4h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 lb shallot, peeled and halved lengthwise
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
3 cups low sodium beef broth (I use low-sodium, otherwise it's too salty)
3/4 cup port wine (I used Mountain Burgundy from a box and it came out fine)
1 1/2 teaspoons tomato paste
2 lbs beef tenderloin, trimmed (same cut filet mignon comes from)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3 slices bacon
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F In a roasting pan, toss shallots with oil to coat. Season with salt and pepper.

  • In a large saucepan, combine beef broth and wine. Bring to a boil. Cook over high heat until the volume is reduced by half, about 30 minutes (mine took 20). Whisk in tomato paste. Set aside.
  • Pat beef dry. Tie up roast to that it will cook evenly. Sprinkle with thyme, salt and pepper. (Sure seems like a lotta salt, use Salt-Free Montreal Steak Seasoning instead). In a large roasting pan, set over medium heat on the stove top, sauté bacon until crisp. Transfer bacon to paper towels. Add beef to pan; brown on all sides over medium high heat, about 7 minutes.
  • Transfer pan to oven. Roast beef at 350°F until meat thermometer inserted into center registers 125°F for medium rare, about 25 minutes/pound. (Start checking with a meat thermometer after 1 hour). Transfer beef to platter. Tent loosely with foil.

Transfer to a medium saucepan, and bring to simmer. Mix 1-1/2 tablespoons butter and flour in small bowl to form smooth paste; whisk into broth mixture, and simmer until sauce thickens.
