"Tournedos" is deluxe steak. Like filet mignon, it is cut from the tenderest part of the filet. Tournedos is a round cut, about 2-inches in diameter and 1-inch thick. Needless to say, it is expensive. /It may be broiled, or sauteed in butter. It is generally preferred sauteed because broiling makes it a little too dry. It is cooked rare or medium-rare - never well done
To sauté : cook tournedos in heated butter over brisk flame for 4 to 5 minutes each side. Salt and pepper to taste. Blend together anchovies and 1 tablespoon butter. Arrange slices of friedbread on heated serving dish. Remove sauteed tournedos from pan and place one tournedos on each slice of friedbread. Keep warm.
