Roasted Chateaubriand in Herb Oil and Béarnaise Sauce

Roasted Chateaubriand in Herb Oil and Béarnaise Sauce with Fleur de Sel- Baked New Potatoes, Mushroom Persillade and Cherry Tomato Cascade with freshness

 
Chateaubriand was created by the Chef Montmirail. He named it after French writer and Diplomat Francois René de Chateaubriand (1768–1848), who served under Napoleon Bonaparte. It is a traditional French recipe centered around a hefty sized cut of beef tenderloin served with a creamy Chateaubriand sauce, though in present-day, it is usually accompanied by a rich Béarnaise sauce and a Potato Soufflé.
