• Combine olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Press evenly into surface of beef. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Brown beef evenly on all sides to sear. Transfer to rack in shallow roasting pan. Insert meat thermometer so tip is centered in thickest part of roast, not resting in fat. Do not add water or cover. Roast in 425-degree F. oven about 30 to 35 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness.
• Meanwhile, in the same skillet, heat 1-1/2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat until hot. Add half of mushrooms and the shallots. Cook and stir until mushrooms are tender. Remove from skillet. Repeat with remaining butter and mushrooms. Set aside.
• In same skillet, bring port wine to a boil over high heat. Cook 5 to 7 minutes or until almost syrupy (reduced to about 2 tablespoons). Stir in broth, mustard, and cornstarch mixture. Cook until slightly thickened and bubbly, stirring occasionally. Return mushrooms to sauce.
• Remove roast from oven when meat thermometer registers 135°F degrees. Transfer roast to carving board. Tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 15 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10 degrees to reach 145 degrees F. for medium rare.)

BUFFALO GRILLED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal grill for two-zone cooking over high heat by pouring the coals onto one half of the grill. For a gas grill, heat all the burners, then off turn one of the end burners before cooking. (See Tip.)
• While the grill is heating, place the mushrooms in a large bowl, and drizzle them generously with olive oil (about 6 tablespoons). Put the hot sauce and garlic in a medium cast-iron skillet.
• When you're ready to grill, bring the mushrooms, skillet, salt, cold butter, a tightly folded paper towel soaked with oil, oven mitt and tongs to the grill. (You want the butter to stay cold, so if you're worried about it melting in the sun, bring it out in a cup over ice.) Clean the grates with a grill brush, then oil the grates with the paper towel.
• Add the mushrooms gill-side up over the flame. Cook the mushrooms, turning occasionally, until well browned and tender, 6 to 15 minutes, depending on the size and type of the mushroom. For a gas grill, close the lid between flips, listening and keeping an eye out for flare-ups. If liquid collects in the mushrooms while cooking, move them to an area of the grill without fire beneath to avoid flare-ups, then flip and return to direct heat.
• When the mushrooms are almost done, add the skillet to an area of the grill without flame beneath, so that there's indirect heat. Add the mushrooms to the skillet as they finish. Season lightly with salt and add the butter, stirring to combine until glossy. Season to taste with salt, pepper and more hot sauce, then top with blue cheese and, if using, parsley.
