A French country dish of poached beef. Traditionally, it is served in two courses: the first, a bowl of broth; the second, a plate of the poached meat. In recent years, chefs and menu writers have used the term more liberally to mean an assortment of meat or fish served surrounded by an unbound broth or poaching liquid.
