Tournedos Rossini

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]
