- Finally, bake in your oven for 15 minutes per pound. *See note.

Notes
Truly, this roast is best cooked rare to medium which is 130℉ as measured with a meat thermometer before removing your meat from the heat source. Since ovens vary, go by temperature, not time. If you prefer your meat a little bit more done, just bake it for 5-10 more minutes.
Serve your meat as is or with my my red wine reduction au jus gravy.
Now this meat is quite flavorful in this recipe with a rub of salt, pepper, and rosemary. Feel free to go with other combinations of flavors like garlic, shallots, thyme, or even oregano. It's up to you.
This great dish is traditionally served with a wine sauce and chateau potatoes. But since we're low-carb, I served my châteaubriand with a side dish of cheesy roasted cauliflower.
