3/4 lb. shallots, halved lengthwise and peeled
1 1/2 T. olive oil
salt and pepper
3 c. beef broth
3/4 c. port wine
1 1/2 tsp. tomato paste
2 lb. beef tenderloin, trimmed
1 tsp. dried thyme
3 slices bacon, diced
3 T. butter
1 T. all-purpose flour
4 sprigs watercress, for garnish

Preheat oven to 375F.
In a 9-inch pie pan, toss shallots with oil to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
Roast until shallots are deep brown and very tender, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
In a large saucepan, combine beef broth and port. Bring to a boil.

In a large roasting pan, set over medium heat on the stove top, saute bacon until golden.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to paper towels to drain.
Add beef to pan; brown on all sides over medium high heat, about 7 minutes.
Transfer pan to oven. Roast beef at 375F about 25 minutes, or until meat thermometer inserted into center registers 125F for medium rare.
Transfer beef to platter. Tent loosely with foil.
Spoon fat off top of pan drippings in roasting pan. Place pan over high heat on stove top.
Add broth mixture, and bring to boil; stir to scrape up any browned bits.
Transfer to a medium saucepan, and bring to simmer.
Mix 1 1/2 tablespoon butter and flour in small bowl to form smooth paste; whisk into broth mixture, and simmer until sauce thickens.
Whisk in remaining butter. Stir in roasted shallots and reserved bacon. Season with salt and pepper.
