A perfect chateaubriand typically takes about 30-40 minutes to cook, depending on the desired doneness.

Estimated Duration: 35 minutes

To cook a perfect chateaubriand, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Sear the meat in a hot pan with butter and oil for 2-3 minutes per side to develop a crust. Then, transfer it to the oven and roast for about 15-20 minutes for medium-rare (internal temperature of 130-135°F or 55-57°C). Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Adjust cooking time for different doneness levels: 10-15 minutes for rare, 20-25 minutes for medium, and 25-30 minutes for well-done. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy. Pair with classic sauces like béarnaise for an authentic experience.
