There couldn't be a more delicious recipe for beef tenderloin, I imagine that this could be made using pork tenderloin, you will have to adjust the roasting time. Ingredients:
2 cups dry red wine |
1 cup tawny port |
2 cups beef broth |
3 tablespoons butter |
2 onions, chopped |
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped (or use 1 teaspoon dryed) |
3 -4 tablespoons butter |
1 lb mushroom, thick sliced |
1 tablespoon flour |
1 (3 lb) beef tenderloin |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
salt and pepper |

1. In a large pot boil wine, Port and broth until reduced to 4 cups.
2. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet and saute the onions until tender (about 5 minutes).
3. Add in the thyme and then saute until the onions are DEEP brown in colour; transfer onions to a bowl.
4. Add in 3-4 tablespoon more butter and saute the mushrooms until they release their moisture and are tender.
5. Return the onions to the skillet; add in flour and stir with onions and mushrooms using a wooden spoon for 3 minutes.
6. Stir the onion/mushroom mixture into the reduced wine mixture; simmer for about 1 hour (or until reduced further to about 3 cups) season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Rub olive oil all over the roast, then let the roast sit at room temperature for 1 hour before cooking.
8. Just before cooking season with salt and pepper.
9. Brown the roast on all sides on top of the stove, then place in a roating pan.
