Beef tenderloin is a classic cut of beef that is highly prized for its tenderness and rich flavor. This recipe elevates the flavors of beef tenderloin by adding a delicious port-balsamic sauce that provides a perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors. Whether you're looking for a special occasion meal or an impressive dinner party dish, this beef tenderloin with port-balsamic sauce is sure to impress your guests!

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2.	In a small saucepan, simmer the ruby port and dry white wine for about 15 minutes, until the liquid is reduced to about 1/2 cup.
3.	While the port-wine reduction is cooking, season the beef tenderloin steaks with salt and pepper, and dust them lightly with all-purpose flour.
4.	In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the unsalted butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted and is foamy, add the steaks to the skillet and cook them for about 4 minutes on each side, until they are browned.
5.	Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the steaks for about 5-7 minutes, until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
6.	Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the steaks to a warm plate. Cover the plate with foil and let the steaks rest for about 5 minutes.
7.	Meanwhile, add the balsamic vinegar to the port-wine reduction and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the sauce is slightly thickened.
8.	To serve, drizzle the port-balsamic sauce over the beef tenderloin steaks and enjoy!
