Beef Tenderloin with Port Sauce
- 1 (2-pound) beef tenderloin, trimmed and tied
- 2 quarts beef stock
- 1 cup ruby port
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 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.
