Veal tournedos

Veal tournedos is a tender steak cut from the tenderloin of the calf. The meat is lighter and more subtle in flavor than beef, making it suitable for dishes where refinement is key. You can fry it briefly in a little butter or combine it with cream sauces or a classic gravy. For the best flavor, fry the veal tournedos until it is pink.

What is a veal tournedos?

A tournedos is a thick slice of meat cut from the tenderloin, the most tender part of the animal. In veal, this cut is prized for its soft texture and mild flavor. The meat is lean and contains hardly any fat, but remains tender thanks to its fine fiber structure. Veal is lighter in color and has a more subtle flavor than beef. In terms of tenderness, veal tournedos is often compared to beef tenderloin, but lighter and finer.

Step-by-Step Cooking of Tournedos

  1. Take the tournedos out of the refrigerator and its packaging at least one hour in advance so that it can reach room temperature.
  2. Pat the tournedos dry with paper towels and season it with pepper and salt to taste.
  3. Heat a pan over the stove with a splash of oil (or a generous knob of butter).
  4. Place the tournedos in the pan once the oil is hot and cook it for approximately 1 minute per centimeter on each side. Is your tournedos 2cm thick? Then cook it 2 minutes per side. If you prefer to cook it to a specific internal temperature, follow these internal temperatures: rare 48°C, medium rare 50°C, medium 52°C, and well done 56°C.
  5. Wrap the tournedos in aluminum foil and let it rest for five minutes.

TIP: Are you cooking on gas? Keep the steak moving for even cooking. If you're cooking on induction, it's better to let it rest, flipping it only once.
