词汇 | chateaubriand |
词源 | Chateaubriand. One old story tells us that Brillat-Savarin dined in Paris with the vicomte François-Auguste-René-de Chateaubriand on the night that an anonymous restaurant pro- prietor invented steak Chateaubriand in his honor. The occa- sion, according to this version, was the publication of the French romantic’s la Génie du christianisme, and the succulent tenderloin was encased between two flank steaks, symbolizing Christ and the thieves. The outer steaks, seared black, were dis- carded, leaving the tenderloin rare and juicy. More likely, steak Chateaubriand was invented and named by the novelist’s chef, Montmirel, and served for the first time at the French embassy in London. See also brillat-savarin. |
