Chateaubriand with Arlequin Sauce
You can refer to Chateaubriand in two different ways. Firstly, it was Auguste Escoffier who named the specific centre cut of the tenderloin the Chateaubriand, while the second term originally referred to the preparation of the dish.
Don’t let this confuse you because whenever you order a chateaubriand from a French restaurant menu, you will receive a beautiful piece of tender beef tenderloin with a classic red wine sauce. This piece of meat is often enough for 2 people.
This cut melts in the mouth and is not only tender and juicy but when served with Arlequin sauce and the mushrooms, it is a real mouth-watering delightful and festive dish.
So, enough talking, here is the recipe so you can start cooking and experience it yourself!
