About this cut

What it is and how to use it

Chateaubriand is the thick, even center cut of the tenderloin, usually a roast of a pound or two. It is very tender with a mild, buttery flavor and is often served sliced at the table with a sauce such as bearnaise. Its even shape makes it cook uniformly. It is a classic for romantic dinners and special occasions.

Cook’s tipSear all sides, then finish in the oven. Cook to at least 145°F and rest for several minutes before slicing into thick slices.
