Directions:
Preheat oven to 525º. 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 45-50 min. or until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the meat registers 130-140º for medium rare. Transfer meat to a cutting board and let rest, loosely covered, for 10 min.
For the sauce: In a saucepan combine the shallots, 2/3 c. of the Madeira, the thyme, rosemary and bay leaf and reduce the mixture to 1/3 c. Add the stock and tomato paste and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 20 min.
In a small bowl combine the remaining Madeira with the cornstarch until smooth and whisk it into the sauce. Simmer for 5 min. more or until lightly thickened. Keep warm. Before serving, strain into a sauce boat.
