Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Borrowed from French tournedos in the 19th century, traditionally etymologized as 'tourne' (turn) and 'dos' (back), supposedly because it was a dish of meat so exquisite that guests would turn their backs to avoid sharing or because leftovers were turned over. Gastronomic historians attribute the culinary term to the classic French cuisine era popularized by chefs like Auguste Escoffier.
