Roast Beef Tenderloin

This beef tenderloin is easy to prepare and the pinot noir sauce makes it extra flavorful.

Ingredients:

  • 1 beef tenderloin roast, trimmed, about 4 to 5 pounds
  • 1 clove garlic, halved
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Creole or Cajun seasoning blend
  • Sauce:
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium shallot, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 cups beef broth, low sodium
  • 1 cup pinot noir or burgundy wine
  • 1/2 rosemary sprig or about 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary leaves
  • salt, to taste

Preparation:

Rub the roast beef with the cut side of the garlic halves, then rub all over with the the olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and the seasoning blend, rubbing all over to coat thoroughly with seasonings. Tuck the thinner end under to make the roast fairly uniform in thickness and tie to keep the roast in place. Wrap or seal in a food storage bag and refrigerate for an hour or two.

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; add shallots and cook, stirring, until the shallots are soft. Stir in the pepper, beef broth, pinot noir, and rosemary. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until reduced to about 1 1/2 cups. Strain, taste, and add salt, if needed. Set aside.

Heat oven to 425°.

Place the roast on a rack in a roasting pan. Roast for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the roast registers about 135° for medium rare or 145° for medium. Remove from oven and tent loosely with foil; let rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

Bring the reduced sauce to a simmer; transfer to a bowl and serve with the sliced tenderloin.
Serves 6.
