Beef Tenderloin in Mushroom Port Sauce

Serves: 2 – 4
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil 1/4 cup finely chopped Green Onions
2 large cloves Garlic, minced 1 cup Cockburn's Ruby Port Wine
1/2 tsp. Salt 1 14-oz. can ready-to-serve Beef Broth
1/2 tsp. coarsely ground Black Pepper 1/4 cup Grey-Poupon Country Style Dijon Mustard
3 lbs. well-trimmed Beef Tenderloin Roast, center cut
1 Tbsp. Cornstarch, dissolved in 2 Tbsps. Water
3 Tbsps.. Butter 1 Tbsp. Butter, softened
1 lb. mixed fresh Mushrooms, stems removed, cut in half if large

Heat oven to 425 F. Combine olive oil, salt, garlic and pepper. Press evenly into surface of beef tenderloin. Heat large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Brown beef tenderloin evenly on all sides to sear. Transfer to rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer so tip is centered in thickest part of roast, not resting in fat. Do not add water or cover. Roast in 425 F. oven about 30 to 35 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness. Meanwhile, in the same skillet, heat 1-1/2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat until hot. Add half of mushrooms and the green onions. Cook and stir until mushrooms are tender. Remove from skillet. Repeat with remaining butter and mushrooms. Set aside.

In same skillet, bring port wine to a boil over high heat. Cook 5-7 minutes or until almost syrupy (reduced to about 2 tablespoons). Stir in broth, mustard and cornstarch mixture. Cook until slightly thickened and bubbly, stirring occasionally. Return mushrooms to sauce. Remove beef tenderloin from oven when meat thermometer registers 135 F. Transfer the beef tenderloin to carving board. Tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 15 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10 to reach 145 F. for medium rare.) Carve the beef tenderloin into slices. If desired, immediately before serving, stir 1 tablespoon softened butter into sauce. Serve with roast. Serves 6.
