Chateaubriand ~Sliced for a Party Platter

For a Christmas Party this past weekend, one hit of the evening was a Chateaubriand I made and sliced for a Party Platter. I bought rolls at Costco and sliced them for a side basket and had a dish of horseradish sauce to complete the finger sandwiches.

It is a fabulous recipe from a dear Air Force wife friend~ she gave it to me some 35 years ago and still one of my best for beef. Always gets raves.

Here is the recipe
