About this episode
Quick bites on the glorious Tournedos from France.
A tournedos (pronounced "toor-nuh-doh") is a culinary term that refers to a specific cut of beef. It is a small, thick, round steak typically cut from the tenderloin, which is the most tender part of the beef. Tournedos are known for their tenderness and rich flavor.
The term "tournedos" is of French origin and translates to "turned" in English. This name comes from the traditional preparation method, where the small steak is tied with kitchen twine to maintain its shape during cooking. The tying also gives the tournedos a neat and uniform appearance.
Tournedos are often served as elegant and luxurious dishes in high-end restaurants. They can be prepared using various cooking methods, including grilling, pan-searing, or broiling.
Additionally, they are often accompanied by sauces such as Béarnaise or Bordelaise, and they may be served with vegetables or other side dishes. In summary, a tournedos is a premium cut of beef, usually taken from the tenderloin, prized for its tenderness, and typically prepared as an upscale steak dish.
