It has almost NO FAT but it is not chewy/tough at all unlike you imagine when you talk about red-lean meat. In fact, it is really tender and juicy.
It is one of the most expensive cuts. Compared to other cuts, it is a bit higher in price. Despite that, it is a very popular cut that has the best lean flavor and tenderness.
AIt is a very tender part along spine of cow. The amount you can get is about 3% of one whole cow. It doesn't move much, the muscles are really thin/fine that make it very tender and juicy. The center part is called "Chateaubriand" and it is the most expensive cut.
QHow should I Cook it?
ADepends on how thick it is. But first we recommend slow-cook then sear on high-heat as a finish-up. Searing it on high-heat from the beginning also works and quicker. However, it easily gets tough if you overcook it. Medium-rare is the best.

Amazing!
Easy to cook because it's pre-cut.
The meat is soft but doesn't have big chunks of fat attached to it which was amazing and made it so much easier to work with (I prefer lean meat).
Will definitely buy again :)
