Tournedos Rossini is a French steak dish, purportedly created for the composer Gioachino Rossini by French master chef Marie-Antoine Carême[1] or by Savoy Hotel chef Auguste Escoffier.[2]

The dish comprises a beef tournedos (filet mignon[3]), pan-fried in butter, served on a crouton, and topped with a hot slice of fresh whole foie gras[4] briefly pan-fried at the last minute. The dish is garnished with slices of black truffle and finished with a Madeira demi-glace sauce.[4][5]
