Ingredients
For Wine Sauce:
½cupbutter, salted
3shallots, finely chopped
6clovesgarlic, minced
4cupsbeef stock, high quality, full strength
1cupred wine*, good quality syrah or cabernet works well
Make the Sauce: (can be done a day ahead of time): In a large heavy saucepan, add butter and heat over medium-high until melted and hot. Add shallots and garlic, stirring until translucent, 2-3 min. Add remaining Wine Sauce ingredients. Reduce heat to medium-low; liquid should be remain at a low boil and uncovered, stirring occasionally, until overall liquid is reduced to half of the original amount of liquid.
Remove herb sprigs, carrots, and celery. Add salt and pepper to taste. Keep sauce warm until ready to use. If making sauce a day early, cover airtight and chill, reheating when ready to serve.
For the Roast: Take tenderloin roast out to sit at room temp 1 hour before cooking, to let it come to room temp.Preheat oven to 175F with rack on lower middle position.
Use paper towel to blot away any excess moisture on roast. Generously sprinkle roast on all sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Press in the seasonings.
In a large, oven-proof pan, add the olive oil. Heat over medium high heat until oil is very hot. Brown roast on 3 sides, 30 seconds per side. Flip roast onto the 4th side, insert oven-proof meat thermometer into thickest center of roast, and immediately transfer the entire pan directly into preheated oven.
Roast until meat thermometer reaches 120-125F in the center of roast, for medium rare. Medium-rare may take up to 2 hours roasting time, but use your thermometer for accurate results. Immediately transfer roast onto a carving board, tent loosely with foil, and let rest for 15 minutes - do not remove thermometer probe nor slice into roast yet, or the juices will escape too soon. As roast rests, internal temp will continue to rise about 5 degrees or more.
Meanwhile, add 1/4 cup beef stock to the pan and scrape up bits from bottom of pan; pour this with any accumulated juices from the pan to your prepared Garlic Wine Sauce, stirring over low heat until heated through. Slice tenderloin and serve with warm sauce.
If the center of tenderloin is much thicker than the ends, tuck the ends under and secure with kitchen twine, so that the roast is similar in thickness throughout.
This low and slow roasting method ensures melt-in-your-mouth, tender, perfectly cooked roast.
Be sure to use a red wine that you'd love to drink; a good wine will make a huge difference in the sauce - you're using a nice cut of beef, so don't skimp on a quality wine.
For medium-rare: remove roast from oven when internal temperature hits 120-125°F.
For medium: remove at 130-135ºF.
For rare: remove at 115ºF. Remember, meat temperature will continue to rise after removing it from the oven, so it's important to take it out at the right temperature and let it rest on cutting board for 15 minutes.
