CHATEAUBRIAND

Chateaubriand:
By Chef Rango Inc.
In the food scene simple it's alway best. Food done well with simple principles, ingredients and techniques... Chateaubriand, a large steak cut from the thickest part of a fillet of beef. And is traditionally served with small roasted new potatoes.
We are doing a slightly different version. Peel and cut potatoes into quarters about 11/2 inch . Poach new potatoes in olive oil, herbs, salt and pepper. Then take carrots and place in a small pan over medium heat with 1/3 of water and 1/4 cup of brown butter, herbs and salt and pepper. Keep cover based the carrots occasionally.  The carrots should be done in about 8-10 minutes.

• 1½ teaspoons of salt

To make pickle onion garnish

• 1 tablespoon vinegar

INSTRUCTIONS

How to make mash

1. Peel the plantains and cut lengthwise, then divide each half into two. Remove the center where the seeds are located (optional, this is just my preference for a smoother plantain mash).
2. Boil the plantains in salted water  until they are very tender.
3. Remove the plantains from the water and mash them with a fork until they are very smooth and there are few to no lumps. Mix in olive oil, minced garlic, onion powder and same cooking water at cool temperature and keep mashing and mixing until it turns into a smooth puree.

How to make the onions

1. Heat a tablespoon of oil in skillet over low heat. Add onions and cook and stir until they become transparent. Pour in vinegar and season with salt to taste. Serve with pork belly
