INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE SAUCE
Preheat oven to 525 degrees F.
Pat meat dry. In a small bowl combine rosemary, thyme, garlic, pepper and
salt. Rub mixture onto meat and arrange meat on a rack in a roasting pan.
Roast meat for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted in
the thickest part of the meat registers 130 to 140 F. for medium- rare.
Transfer meat to a cutting board and let rest, loosely covered, for 10
minutes.
Make the sauce: In a saucepan combine the shallots, 2/3 cup of the Madeira,
the thyme, rosemary and bay leaf and reduce the mixture to 1/3 cup. Add the
stock and tomato paste and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes.
In a small bowl combine the remaining Madeira with the arrowroot until
smooth and whisk it into the sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes more, or until
lightly thickened. Keep warm. Before serving, strain into a sauceboat.
