Ingredients
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 1 cup red-wine vinegar
- 1 shallot, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons whole black peppercorns
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- 1 (5-pound) whole beef tenderloin, trimmed
- Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-
Place red wine, vinegar, shallot, peppercorns, and thyme in a small saucepan over high heat; cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Generously season tenderloin on all sides with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed roasting pan over high heat. Carefully add tenderloin and transfer roasting pan to oven. Roast, turning every 5 minutes, until medium-rare (120 degrees on an instant-read thermometer), 12 to 20 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, slowly whisk the cold butter into the warm wine reduction until emulsified. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a small saucepan; season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
-
Remove tenderloin from oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and slice crosswise; arrange slices on a large platter. Pour any juices that have accumulated in the roasting pan into the red-wine sauce and stir to combine. Serve beef accompanied with sauce.
I almost ruined Xmas dinner with this recipe -- the beef was fine but took much longer than stated for rare beef - the times had to be way off in the recipe. However, the sauce was just awful and was made exactly as stated in the recipe. Luckily, I made some great gravy with the drippings, which saved the dinner. I will NOT be making this again!
This is my new favorite easy entertaining recipe. I made this for a party of 15. It was a hit with children and adults a like. So easy and so deliciouse!
