Ok let me try this...

Veal stock reduction (glace de viande texture), infused with taragon.

I will even add veggies and starch that could go with all three.

Creamy mash with chives and bacon, buttered aspargus.

Compound butter: butter, lemon, garlic, dash of hot sauce, s&p

Or a vinaigrette.

Evoo
Orange juice and zest or lemon juice and zest--ooh even grapefruit would be good with a little brown sugar and tiny bit of cumin and coriander
minced garlic
salt and pepper

If you want an herb, I'd go thyme. Even Oregano. Basil would work with lemon, even on beef. I don't think I'd use basil with orange on beef

Tarragon would work but I find it overpowering.

Country Gravy? What? Just me? Oh OK.

I would do a red wine reduction with shallots, saffron, grains of paradise and a pinch of curry.

Okay, how about this:
evo, red wine vinegar, sugar, crushed red pepper, crushed black peppercorns, dry mustard, crushed fresh garlic, little salt...

the above is part of a recipe that I already use...thinking of adding a little heavy cream to the mix..will try it and see..
