tournedos

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'some beef' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'cooked not soured' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates an anagram (letters cooked into a new form).
'not'+'soured'='notsoured'
'notsoured' with letters rearranged gives 'TOURNEDOS'.

'gets' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tournedos that I've seen before include "Steaks" , "Round thick piece of beef fillet" , "Round thick fillet cut" , "Pieces of beef" , "Small round thick beef fillet" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
