Description

Beef Chateaubriand Fillet Joint is the most prestigious roasting joint in classic French cuisine — the thick centre of the beef fillet, trimmed to perfection and weighing between 454g and 1kg. Extraordinarily tender, with a clean, delicate flavour that rewards simple, confident cooking, it is the centrepiece for the most special of occasions.

About Our Artisan Beef

The beef offered by The Artisan Food Company comes from small, carefully selected farms committed to traditional, high-welfare rearing. These are slow-grown cattle — breeds chosen for quality over yield — raised on grass pasture and fed natural diets that allow them to develop the flavour, marbling and texture that intensive farming simply cannot replicate. Every joint is sourced with the understanding that great beef begins on the farm, long before it reaches the butcher.

Where dry ageing is applied, the beef is hung in a carefully controlled environment for a minimum of 28 days, allowing natural enzymes to tenderise the meat and moisture to evaporate from the surface, concentrating the flavour into something deep, nutty and extraordinary. Whether dry aged or freshly prepared, every joint is butchered to order by skilled hands and delivered chilled, ready to take centre stage at your table.

How to Cook & Serve

To get the very best from Beef Chateaubriand Fillet Joint:

  • Allow 45–60 minutes at room temperature before cooking.
  • Season generously with sea salt and cracked black pepper — the chateaubriand’s delicate flavour needs confident seasoning.
  • Sear in a very hot pan with butter for 2 minutes per side to form a golden crust, then transfer to a 200°C oven.
  • Cook for 15–20 minutes for medium-rare (internal temperature 54°C), then rest for 15 minutes before slicing thickly against the grain.

Perfect Pairings

Beef Chateaubriand Fillet Joint pairs beautifully with:

  • Classic sauce Béarnaise — the definitive pairing
  • Pommes purée or gratin dauphinoise
  • A great red Burgundy, aged Château Pétrus or fine Bordeaux
  • Sautéed wild mushrooms with shallots and a splash of Cognac

Storage & Preparation: Keep refrigerated and use by the date shown. Remove from all packaging and allow to come to room temperature for at least 1 hour before cooking — longer for larger joints. Season generously just before cooking. Any leftover roast beef keeps refrigerated for up to 3 days and is excellent cold the following day in sandwiches or salads.

However you serve it, Beef Chateaubriand Fillet Joint brings genuine artisan quality to the table — the kind of centrepiece that turns a meal into a proper occasion.
