In English usage it often refers to the dish in a Michelin-worthy restaurant context or casual bistro, typically signaling a French culinary pairing. The term is frequently treated as a fixed phrase, with the stress pattern leaning on the first word. Overall, it denotes a specific, simple steak-and-fries combination rather than a generic description of beef and potatoes.
