How to Choose

Fresh bright-red beef, not dark, with creamy-white fat. Tenderloin or rump is tender; slice across the grain to avoid toughness.

Chef's Secret

Secret: sear beef on the highest heat for only a moment don't overcook, so it stays juicy. A tiny pinch of baking soda in the marinade adds tenderness.
