Beef Filet Chateaubriand Roast Recipe Instructions
Defrost the pack in the fridge for approx. 24 hours or more. Once completely defrosted take it out of the packaging and let it "breathe" for 15 minutes at room temperature. Pat dry with a paper towel. If you are planning to cook the filet as a roast we highly recommend tying it with a butcher's twine so it retains its shape.
You can either cook the roast as is or cut it into smaller filet steaks aka filet mignons. In your example, we will be showing you how to prepare the roast in the frying pan and finish roasting it in the oven.
Season the filet roast with sea salt and freshly ground pepper. Either rub the roast with plenty of olive oil or use salt-free butter when cooking searing. The tenderloin is very lean and you need to make sure it does not cook dry.
Prepare a skillet or frying pan to very hot. Remember, we are not cooking the roast so make sure to turn it often, keep basting with the juices to keep the outer layer juicy. Keep the searing under 5 minutes. Remove the roast and place aside.
Place the filet roast in the middle of the oven pan. Add vegetables to your liking. To keep the vegetables from drying up we recommend pre-cooking them in boiling water for 10-15 minutes before placing them on an oven tray together with the roast.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius or 350 degrees Fahrenheit and place the roast in the middle. Set the timer to 45 minutes. Make sure to have a meat thermometer at hand as you need to check the internal temperature after 30 minutes.
Check on the core temperature of the roast. Once it reaches is 50 degrees Celsius or 120 degrees Fahrenheit remove the roast from the heat.
Place the roast on a cutting board and allow it to cook on residual heat for at least 10 minutes.
Use a large and sharp knife to cut the roast. Remember the tenderloin filet is incredibly tender and might be difficult to cut straight and in even shapes.
Soft as butter. The tender eating experience of the Morgan Ranch tenderloin filet is unforgettable.
Sprinkle with sea salt. Serve while warm for a soft and flavorsome experience.
