Remove the beef tenderloin from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
While the beef tenderloin is resting, make the red wine sauce.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Add the shallots and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the red wine, beef broth, thyme, and rosemary. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
