My method gives you perfectly even cooking.I know which one I’d rather eat.
OK, I hear some of you skeptics: is this really the way
you cook steak at home all the time? No, of course not. It
takes longer, and sometimes even I don’t have extra time in
the kitchen. If I’m in a rush, cooking prebutchered steaks
using the method outlined in the Quick and Easy Pan-Seared
Steaks recipe (here) works just as well for tenderloin—just
be extra, extra, extra careful with that thermometer.
