Rare steak with beef marrow

I think it means that the steak was just "shown the pan" - although in your context it it not really clear wthat it is that is briefly cooked.

agree Sandra Petch : Clever interpretation! Would "seared" be a possibility? Can't help much with meaty questions as I'm vegan! / http://www.saveursdumonde.net/ency_6/gibier/bison.htm Servir saignant: un aller et retour suffit.

agree NancyLynn : might even be blue (rarer than rare) rare is also saignant
