Beef steak fillet named after a French author (13)

I believe the answer is:

chateaubriand

(Other definitions for chateaubriand that I've seen before include "French author" , "diplomat" , "Fr. writer; fillet steak" , "cut" , "French writer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
