"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
