COOKING TIP: Because it's low in fat, this piece tends to cook quickly. A cast-iron skillet is perfect to sear it on both sides before finishing it in the oven with some rosemary and garlic. Aim for an internal temperature of 130-135°F for medium-rare or up to 140°F for medium. Top steak with grilled asparagus, pan seared scallops and creamy bearnaise. Bon Appetit.
