Can't say enough about this recipe. My guinea pigs (Father in law,husband, 3 teens)thought they died and went to heaven. When you start with a great cut of beef your way ahead of the game. I made the sauce with 50%Port and 50% good Cabernet Sauvignon, thinking the port may be too sweet. I aso served this with some puff pastry (the ones w/ the tops in the frozen food section of your grocery). I omitted the 3 tbs of butter into the sauce but added 1 tblspoon. Reduced the sauce, and roasted the shallots in the morning. Husband loved it with the watercress, and looks lovely on the plate. "Tenderloin" IS expensive.. but the same cost as "Chinese take out" (that couldn't be half as good). Worth the expense, the time and effort...Thank you for a very easy and special recipe, and makes the cook look like a Julia Child.
