   • 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare
   • 135°F (57°C) for medium
     Use a meat thermometer for best accuracy.

Suggested Sides:

• Grilled corn with parmesan and lime
• Crispy rosemary potatoes
• Charred broccolini

Pro Tips:

• Let the meat rest to keep it juicy and tender.
• Use compound butter generously—it’s where the flavor magic happens.
• Reverse-searing is another great option if you want a thicker crust with slow cooking.
