Chateaubriand Recipe
Indulge in the refined flavors of a classic Chateaubriand, a dish that is sure to impress even the most discerning palate. This elegant meal is perfect for special occasions and is surprisingly easy to prepare. Here's what you'll need:
Ingredients:
- 1 (2-pound) beef tenderloin
- 2 tablespoons of high-quality oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh thyme
- 1 cup of beef broth
- 1/4 cup of red wine
Directions:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
-
Remove the beef tenderloin from the refrigerator and allow it to rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
-
Season the tenderloin generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
-
Heat a large oven-safe skillet over high heat and add the oil.
-
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the tenderloin in the skillet and sear it on all sides until it develops a golden crust.
-
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook the tenderloin for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
-
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the tenderloin to a cutting board. Cover it with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes.
-
While the tenderloin rests, prepare the sauce. Heat a small saucepan over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic and thyme and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
-
Pour in the beef broth and red wine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
-
Carve the tenderloin into thick slices and serve with the sauce on the side. Enjoy!
