ROASTED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH ROSEMARY, CHOCOLATE AND WINE SAUCE
One of the best dishes I have ever made. This sauce is so wonderful, you can also do this with pork tenderloin. I did not have any fresh herbs on hand and substituted with dried, and it still was perfect. This dish is not only elegant but healthy.

Steps:
- Directions.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Season the meat with the salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the oil over medium-high heat until good and hot, then add the meat and sear until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes total.
- Transfer the meat to a rack set on a baking sheet. Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 140 degrees F for medium-rare, about 30 minutes, or to your desired degree of doneness. Remove it from the oven, cover with aluminum foil, and let rest until the sauce is nearly done before slicing.
- While the meat cooks, make the sauce. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, carrot and celery and cook, stirring a few times, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the wine and broth and stir in the tomato paste. Add the bay leaf and thyme and bring to a boil. Simmer until the liquid is reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 40 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a small saucepan. Stir in the cocoa and rosemary and season with salt and pepper. Serve on the side with the sliced tenderloin.
- Serving size 3 slices of meat and about 1 1/2 tablespoons of sauce.
