pierrade

cooking on a hot stone

Pierrade is a popular way of cooking outside or in restaurants (especially in the mountains) where diners prepare their own food (usually thinly sliced meats, fish or vegetables) on a hot stone or stone-like plate (similar to à la planche)

‘Pierrade’ is actually a patented name, but it has gone into common usages.
