châteaubriand
Center-cut beef filet
Châteaubriand is a thick cut of beef tenderloin, typically grilled or roasted and served for two.
The dish is traditionally accompanied by a sauce, often béarnaise, and originated in French haute cuisine: We ordered the châteaubriand to share.
The cut comes from the thickest part of the tenderloin.
