Where it comes from

PIE word

*h₁én

Borrowed from French entrecôte, from entre (“between”) + côte (“rib”).

noun entrecôtes

  1. countable, uncountable Sometimes in full entrecôte steak: a premium cut of beef from between the ribs used for roasts and steaks. Any dispute about the relative excellence of the beefsteak cut from the filet, as is usual in France, and of the entrecote, must henceforth be idle and absurd. Whenever, my dear young friend, you go to Paris, call at once for the entrecote; the filet in comparison to it is a poor fade lady's meat.
