Tournedos Rossini is a French steak dish consisting of beef tournedos[1] (filet mignon), pan-fried in butter, served on a crouton, and topped with a slice of fresh foie gras[2] briefly pan-fried at the last minute. The dish is garnished with slices of black truffle and finished with sauce madère, a Madeira-based sauce.[2][3]
