Buffalo Roast

When looking for something exotic to serve for dinner, try a buffalo roast. Often enjoyed as burgers, buffalo meat creates a gourmet experience without the gluttony. In roast form, buffalo tenderloin is perfect for a Chateaubriand.

Often confused for a cut of meat, Chateaubriand is actually a recipe that dates back to Napoleon's time. Traditional Chateaubriand takes meat from the tenderloin, the same area cut for filet mignons, and coats it in butter and black pepper. The meat is then grilled and served medium rare. Since Napoleon's time, Chateaubriand seemingly changed dimensions and still causes quite a stir between debating chefs. Originally, Chateaubriand was only a couple inches thick and served just two. This is now called the Chateaubriand steak, with a true Chateaubriand being a thick roast perfect for a holiday meal or dinner party.
