1. TOASTER OVEN, at 650W until 51C inside (about 23 minutes)
2. DRY TOP AND BOTTOM since water keeps it from crusting quickly. HUGE amount of salt and black pepper.
3. OIL IN CAST IRON PAN AT MAX TEMP. When oil starts smoking, 60 sec on each side.
Since the heat is slow and uniform during the bake, the entire piece gets up to medium rare, with no grey at all. (Even the outside is probably still pinkish.) Then when you sear it, there is no time for the heat to sink into the meat and start turning it grey.
RESULT: NEARLY BLACK CRUST but 95%+ of volume inside is MED RARE. ALMOST NO GREY ZONE.
An excellent cut of meat. Only used sea salt, ground pepper to season. Quick sear on both sides then long slow cook in the bbq. Knife went right through. Amazing cut!
A fantastic cut. Sous vide for 2 hours and 15 minutes at 55.5 degrees with rosemary. Seared with a culinary torch. Basted in a frypan with butter and garlic. Kosher salt and pepper to finish. Exquisite!
