  1. beefsteak (a steak of beef)

    masculine
Where this word comes from

18th century, from English beefsteak with the cluster /fst/ reduced to /ft/ (or less often to /st/). The spelling was highly variable up into the 20th century until bifteck established itself, which is phonetic but adds the “un-French” -k, be it as a pseudo-English form or after the related steak (whose spelling remained unaltered).
