Châteaubriand

This classic Châteaubriand is the ultimate choice for a sophisticated, protein-rich meal that feels indulgent yet remains diabetes-friendly. Using the most succulent cut of beef tenderloin, the meat is quickly seared to lock in its natural juices before being finished in the oven for a melt-in-the-mouth texture. The rich flavour is elevated by a simple red wine reduction, which incorporates the savoury sediment from the pan for a deeply satisfying finish.

As a lean cut of beef, this dish provides an excellent source of high-quality protein and essential minerals without the heavy saturated fats found in other steaks. It is perfect for a celebratory dinner or a weekend treat, especially when served alongside steamed seasonal greens or roasted root vegetables. This impressive homemade meal proves that refined French dining can be both healthy and easy to achieve in your own kitchen.

Ingredients for Châteaubriand

  • 2 cucchiai di olio extravergine d'oliva

  • 1 (275g) centre-cut beef tenderloin

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

  • 1 large shallot, peeled and chopped

  • 120ml red wine (whatever you're drinking)

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled

How to make Châteaubriand

  1. Preheat oven to 232°C.

  2. In an ovenproof, heavy-bottomed frying pan, heat the olive oil over high heat until hot but not smoking.

  3. Season the meat with salt and pepper, then brown it in the pan on all sides.

  4. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until the meat's internal temperature reaches 54°C (for rare), 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven.

  5. Transfer the meat to a cutting board and tent it with foil.

  6. Pour all but a thin film of fat from the pan.

  7. Add the shallot and saut it over medium-low heat until golden, 2 to 3 minutes.

  8. Add the wine and raise the heat to high, scraping up any brown bits from the pan.

  9. When the sauce is syrupy (about 5 minutes), turn off the heat and whisk in the butter.

  10. Carve the meat in thick slices and drizzle with the pan sauce.
