Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high to high heat.

BAROLO SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan. Add the shallots, mushrooms and thyme and cook over high heat for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the stock and boil until the mushrooms are almost dry. Stir in the wine and boil until reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 30 minutes. Stir in the cream and bring to a boil over low heat. Whisk in the butter and sugar and season with salt and pepper. Strain the sauce through a fine sieve, pressing on the solids, and keep warm.

HERB-POACHED TENDERLOIN WITH BAROLO SAUCE

Steps:

• Choose a pot large enough to submerge meat, fill it with water and bring it to a boil. Grind or mince together the oregano, thyme, bay leaf, basil and paprika. Rub meat all over with olive oil, then season well with salt and pepper. Rub herb mixture into meat and spread garlic all over it; it need not be too neat. Tightly wrap meat in a large piece of plastic wrap, rolling it up like a sausage and twisting ends to seal. Wrap package tightly in aluminum foil.
• Submerge meat in water, and cook for 12 minutes for medium-rare. (Check with an instant-read thermometer, which should show 120 degrees when meat is done.) Let rest for about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile combine stock and wine in a small saucepan and cook until reduced to less than 1/2 cup. Season with salt and pepper.
• Unwrap meat (scissors will be helpful), slice and serve with sauce.
