Chateaubriand ❤️ One of my favorite things to make for the holidays. It was a staple during my restaurant days. Yes, it is time consuming but it's worth it I promise! Last Christmas this is what I made instead of turkey. My family likes to switch it up, since we make turkey for Thanksgiving.

Ingredients
3lbCentercut filet, chateaubriand. 3 to 4 lb works.
4ozUnsalted butter
1 1/2tbspBalsamic vinegar
1 1/2tbspSoy sauce , or tamari
3tbspChives
1/4cupParsley, fresh
1tspCrushed red peppers
1tspDijon mustard
Salt and pepper, to taste
16ozBeef bone broth
1cupRed wine, cabernet sauvignon
1Shallot, minced
1/3cupCrème fraîche
Instructions
First, score the tenderloin and sprinkle liberally with kosher salt. Let sit in fridge for 1 hour. Then, pat dry, blow dry on cool for 1 minute and add seasoned salt.
Secondly, preheat an oven safe pan for 3 minutes on high. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Add the butter, chives, parsley, dijon, crushed peppers, balsamic, soy sauce and tiny pinch of salt to a food processor. Then, pulse until smooth.
Add the butter all over the tenderloin and roast at 300F until internal temperature reaches 130-135F. Mine took 25 minutes. My thermometer broke so I did the hand check.
Let tenderloin rest.
In the pan you roasted the tenderloin in, add in your shallot and sauté for 3 minutes on medium.
Add in wine and broth. Let it reduce on medium to 1/3. Add in crème fraîche and mix. Cook for 1 more minute and turn heat off.
Lastly, slice your roast, serve over potato puree and add the sauce.
