Sage Roast Beef With Merlot Sauce is an elegant and flavorful main course that is perfect for a special occasion or holiday meal. The beef tenderloin is rubbed with a mixture of fresh sage, salt, pepper, and garlic, then roasted to perfection in the oven.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2.In a small bowl, mix together the sage, salt, pepper, and garlic. Rub the mixture onto all sides of the beef tenderloin.
3.Place the tenderloin in a roasting pan that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Roast for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the beef reaches 135 degrees F (57 degrees C) for medium rare or 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) for medium. Transfer the beef to a cutting board and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
4.While the beef is resting, make the sauce. In a medium saucepan, cook the shallot over medium heat until it is tender and translucent. Add the merlot and beef broth, and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the mixture has reduced by half. Whisk in the butter, parsley, and salt. Serve the slices of beef with the sauce poured over the top.
