Tournedos
A beef steak cut from the tenderloin, measuring ¾ to 1 inch thick and 2 to 2½ inches in diameter. Since tournedos are very lean, they're sometimes wrapped in pork fat or bacon prior to grilling or broiling. Classically, they're served on fried bread rounds and topped with a sauce, such as mushroom sauce.
