Recipe of Chateaubriand Steak

Ingredients

• 1 large filet mignon (about 500g)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 shallots, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup dry red wine
• 1/4 cup beef broth
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. 2

   Generously season the filet mignon with salt and pepper on both sides.

3. 3

   In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the filet mignon and sear it on all sides, about 2 minutes per side.

4. 4

   Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast the filet mignon for 15 to 20 minutes for medium-rare (or longer depending on your preference).

5. 5

   Meanwhile, in the same skillet, add the shallots and sauté them until they become tender.

6. 6

   Deglaze the skillet by pouring in the dry red wine and simmer until it reduces by half.

7. 7

   Add the beef broth and continue to cook until the sauce slightly thickens.

8. 8

   Stir in the butter to make the sauce velvety. Adjust the seasoning if needed.

9. 9

   Remove the filet mignon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thick pieces.

    Serve the Chateaubriand with the shallot sauce on top, garnished with fresh parsley.
