How people cook with it

To prepare, allow the meat to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. Season generously with salt and pepper. For pan-searing, use a hot skillet with a bit of oil or butter. Sear each side until a beautiful crust forms, then reduce heat to finish cooking to your desired doneness. For grilling, cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally. Resting the meat for 5-10 minutes after cooking is crucial to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring a more tender and flavorful result.
