Châteaubriand With Cognac Sauce

"This is a little lighter that traditional Chateaubriand in that I use light margarine instead of butter. I also use a more traditional sauce than the creamy béarnaise a lot more modern recipes call for, although I substitute cognac for the white wine used in traditional Sauce Chateaubriand."
