    Preparation Steps

    1

    Bring the beef tenderloin to room temperature. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

    2

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the tenderloin on both sides for 2-3 minutes, until a golden-brown crust forms.

    3

    Add the butter, crushed garlic, thyme sprigs, and rosemary sprig to the pan. Baste the tenderloin with the melted butter in the pan for 1-2 minutes.

    4

    Transfer the tenderloin to a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare. For a more well-done steak, increase the cooking time.

    5

    After baking, wrap the meat in aluminum foil and let it rest for 5-7 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

    6

    Slice the Chateaubriand steak into thick portions and serve with steamed vegetables and fresh bread or mashed potatoes.
