1/4 cup dried cherries
1 cup port wine or 1 cup other sweet red wine, divided
1/4 cup black cherry juice
1 lb beef tenderloin, trimmed
butter-flavored cooking spray
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup low sodium beef broth
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Steps:

Set oven to broil.

Heat oil in pan over medium-high heat. Add shallot and garlic; saute 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in cherry mixture, 3/4 cup port, broth, and thyme. Bring to a boil; cook 10 minutes or until reduced to 1/2 cup. Pour over steaks. Serve immediately.
Serving size is 1 steak with 2 tbsp sauce.
