Roast Beef Tenderloin With Red Wine & Shallot Sauce

I have made this a few times now. The first time I made only the sauce (see 7/10 review below). Yesterday I made a 4# tenderloin & sauce with one major change. Per my BIL/pro-chef, I used an 450°F convection oven temperature for 30 minutes for a perfect medium rare result. BTW the sauce & beef can be made ahead of time. I did this the day before. If doing do, sear the beef on the stove top or grill, wrap tightly in foil and refrigerate for up to a day. 60 minutes prior to cooking, remove from the fridge & unwrap to warm up. Bake until desired doneness, let rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Before roasting I re-seasoned the beef with olive oil, rosemary, garlic powder, S&P.
7/09 Sauce review only: I seared my tenderloin on the outdoor grill and made the sauce recipe as suggested. It turned out great. I halved the recipe and made ahead with the intent on warming adding the cornstarch before serving then forgot to add the cornstarch and it was still wonderful. I would recommend for individual filet mignon as well.

Oh My Gosh!!! Did this make me look like a star! The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender and the sauce.....I could have eaten a bowl of that all by itself. Made it for Christmas dinner and it was devoured and loved by all. Thank you for sharing. This one is definately a keeper!

Fantastic recipe! Used some inexpensive beef roast. The sauce is fabulous. I added steak cut mushrooms to the sauce (sauteed them briefly with the shallots for the last 5 minutes, right before you add the broth/wine etc.). Served with baby carrots and potatoes that I cut up, boiled, and then briefly tossed with butter, thyme, rosemary, and marjoram over med heat. Served with the gravy on the potatoes too, absolutely fantastic. This recipe is a definite keeper. Next time, I will do the beef in the crockpot however, for tenderness (that way I can still use a cheaper cut of beef).

This recipe was excellent! I BBQ'd the roast & used sweet onions in place of the shallots, since that's what I had on hand. It turned out wonderful, I will for sure be making this again!

I do not eat red meat, but my family does and they LOVED this recipe. I only used the cooking technique for the beef tenderloin and not the sauce, but they all had great things to say about the beef, so thank you Country Lady for your help!

This is an excellent recipe! The only thing I do differently is add some heavy cream to the sauce near the end.

Absolutely wonderful! Didn't have the brandy but wonder if Whiskey would do just as well. Hmm... I added fresh sliced mushrooms to the sauce and served over fresh garlic pasta and the "grilled" tenderloin. Simply scrumptious!! You really need to add some nice hot crusty bread to the recipe to sop up all the goodness with. Yum!!

This sauce is out of this world delicious! I used all wine in mine and it was still very tasty without the brandy. This really sent my roast to another level! I will be using this often, as it was a huge hit all around the table!

Terrific roast, everyone was very happy! I was impressed with the sauce, the whole crowd used it as gravy over the meat and the Hasselback potatoes that accompanied the roast. I did strain the sauce, because I personally like a smooth sauce. I will recommend this to all my beef-loving friends!

This is absolutely amazing and a lot easier than it looks. This was my first beef roast from scratch ever and it came out amazing! I am definately making this again.
