Beef tenderloin steak is the most tender and flavorful cut of beef. It is often associated with special occasions and fancy dinners. The cherry-port sauce adds a touch of sweetness and a tangy flavor that complements the rich taste of the beef. This dish is perfect for a festive dinner party or a weekend family dinner. It requires some skill in cooking beef to the desired level of doneness but is well worth the effort. The combination of juicy beef and sweet cherry-port sauce is irresistible.

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2.In a small saucepan, combine cherries and 1/2 cup port; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 6 minutes or until slightly syrupy. Remove from heat, and stir in cherry juice.
3.Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the beef.
4.Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add beef; cook 3 minutes on 1 side or until browned. Turn beef over. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes or until a thermometer registers 145 degrees Fahrenheit (medium-rare). Remove beef from pan; keep warm.
5.Add shallots, garlic, and thyme to pan; sauté 30 seconds. Add remaining 1/2 cup port; bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Cook until reduced to 1/4 cup (about 2 minutes). Add broth; bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by half (about 5 minutes). Add cherry mixture; cook 1 minute or until heated. Serve sauce with steak.
