Tournedos Rossini is a French steak dish consisting of a beef tournedos (filet mignon[1]), pan-fried in butter, served on a crouton, and topped with a hot slice of fresh whole foie gras[2] briefly pan-fried at the last minute. The dish is garnished with slices of black truffle and finished with a Madeira demi-glace sauce.[2][3]
It is named after 19th-century composer Gioachino Rossini.[4] Its invention is attributed to either French master chef Marie-Antoine Carême,[5] Adolphe Dugléré, or Savoy Hotel chef Auguste Escoffier.[6]
