Spanish to English Other Cooking / Culinary
Centro de carne roja

Este es un manual de métodos de cocina; me imagino que "centro" se refiere a un corte, como lomo, pero no lo encuentro en ninguna parte. Ojo que es de España.

No tengo contexto mayor.

Chateaubriand

Judging from the pictures and videos I believe they are referring to the choicest part of the tenderloin: the Chateaubriand. The word is used both for that piece of meat and the manner of cooking, but the same seems to be the case in Spanish.
Tenderloin refers to the whole joint, which includes the head muscle and tail, sometimes the chain too.
"Chateaubriand steak (also chateaubriand) is a meat dish cooked with a thick cut from the tenderloin filet. In contemporary times, chateaubriand cuts of beef refer to "a large steak cut from the thickest part of a fillet of beef".[1]"

Note from asker:
Thank you, Cecilia. This was a long job which required that I watch a number of videos on sous vide cooking, and which led to my purchase of sous vide equipment which just arrived today! I decided on tenderloin but as you said, it might be chateaubriand. Thank you!
