Chateaubriand Recipe for a 10 oz., 2 lb. and 4 lb. Roast

Oven Baking:
Preheat oven to 425° F. The high heat is needed to develop a brown exterior.
Season thawed roast with cracked pepper and salt or with . (Make certain that roast is thawed thoroughly. This will take 2 days in the refrigerator for a 4 pound roast). Place on a broiling pan or in a roasting pan.

For a four pound roast, roast uncovered in the oven 50-55 minutes. (Remove from oven when the internal temperature reads 130° F. After 15 minutes resting time, internal temperature will rise 5° F to 10° F. to approximately 135° to 140° F. which would be medium rare.) Serves 8-12.

For a two pound roast, roast uncovered in the oven for approximately 38 to 40 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 130° F. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Final internal temperature will rise to 135° F which is medium rare. Serves 4-6.

For a 10 ounce roast, roast for 18 to 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reads 130° F. (For medium rare). For broiling the 10 oz. sampler, allow 7-9 minutes per side. Serves 2. Place Chateaubriand on a heated serving platter or cutting board and allow to rest 10 to 15 minutes before carving. The thicker portion will be medium-rare (130° -140° F. Internal temperature), the smaller end will be medium-well done (150° -160° F. internal temperature), with variations in between.

Grilling Instructions:

• Preheat grill. (High heat for gas grill; prepare briquettes for charcoal grill).

• Season roast with cracked pepper & salt.

• Place roast on grill and sear on high for 6 minutes, turn roast every 4 to 6 minutes until all sides are seared.

• Reduce grill heat to medium, continue cooking another 20 to 30 minutes until desired degree of doneness is reached.

•  For a 4 lb. roast the total cooking time will be 40 to 50 minutes.

• For the two pound roast total cooking time is 30 to 35 minutes.

•  The 10 ounce Chateaubriand will take approximately 14 to 16 minutes.

• Putting the roast on a broiling pan will allow the juices to fall into the drip pan and thus will eliminate most splattering and smoking.
