UL's Wild Chateaubriand |
Chateaubriand is beautifully
complimented by rich, full bodied red wines. We suggest North Mountain
Cabernet Sauvignon or our delicious Chambourcin.
Ingredients: 1 whole beef tenderloin
1 cup Yoshida Gourmet Sauce (available at Costco)
1 cup Wild Turkey 101 or your favorite 100 proof Bourbon
1 cup shelled pistachio nuts
Preparation: Thoroughly
clean the Beef Tenderloin, removing most of the fat and silver
(sinew and tough tendons). Cut the tenderloin in half
lengthwise. Place in one gallon freezer bag with the
Wild Turkey and Yoshida Gourmet Sauce. Marinate over
night - 8 hour minimum in your refrigerator.
Remove the roasts in the bag from the refrigerator and let
them come to room temperature. Pre-heat the oven to 500
degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9 x 12 roasting pan with foil and
coat with Olive Oil. Remove the tenderloin from the
marinade. Dump the marinade down the sink (sorry). Each
piece will be tapered at one end. Fold each piece of
tenderloin in half bringing the tapered end up nearly to the
thick end and tie two or three places with kitchen twine.
Chop the pistachios in your blender or food processor to a
coarse chunk. Roll each roast in the chopped pistachios to
coat it completely. Put one roast back in the fridge on a
covered dish until ready to cook. Place one of the
roasts in your roasting pan and put it in the center of the
oven. Immediately reduce the heat to 350 degrees and
roast for 45 minutes. When your first roast is done, raise the
temp back to 500, pull the second roast out of the fridge to
warm up and let the oven preheat before putting in the second
roast. I usually roast one piece at a time for
appetizers. If you do both at once increase the cooking
time to one hour or more. A meat thermometer should read
120-130 degrees in the thickest part of each roast for rare,
130-135 for medium-rare. Do not over cook. Chateaubriand
should be served Rare to medium rare for maximum tenderness. I
usually serve horseradish on the side or a horseradish sauce
made by mixing horseradish with sour cream to taste.
Slice 1" to 1 1/2" thick to serve as a main course
or slice thinly(1/4") and half each slice and serve with
rolls as an appetizer .
