loosely with foil and let stand about 10 minutes, until thermometer
registers 140 F. Slice 1/4 inch thick and arrange on serving
platter. Garnish with rosemary sprigs. Serve with Mushroom Gravy.

Heat oil in a large skillet. Add flour and whisk over medium-high
heat 2 to 4 minutes, until dark golden. Slowly whisk in broth and
wine, then remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to
medium-low and cook 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until
