What it is

Interbev explains that an entrecôte taken from the basses-côtes is called entrecôte découverte. It is firmer and more marbled than the couverte from the côte, and should not be confused with the contre-filet. In the Nord the names entrecôte découverte and côte d'atteinte are used. Interbev cooks entrecôtes in a pan or on a grill without added fat, 1 to 6 minutes a side, served bleu or saignant.
