Beef Tender
I watch a lot of shows on the Food Network, and for some reason, this recipe for beef tenderloin really stuck in my head. The show was Boy Meets Grill, and featured Bobby Flay’s wife, Stephanie March, who was cooking his birthday dinner. She made a beef tenderloin by simply marinating it in some garlic, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, and butter, and then put it under the broiler for 8 minutes on one side, 5 minutes on the other. After cooking the beef, she wrapped it up tightly in foil, and let the meat rest for 90 minutes at room temperature. On the show, they cut into the beef and it was cooked perfectly to medium rare. It was all very intriguing, so I tried it. Unfortunately, I believe there is very big difference between gas and electric broilers. I have an electric broiler, and even cooking the beef for 8 minutes on each side and 
then letting it rest, I ended up with one very bloody hunk of meat. However, Seth sliced it up for me, and then a seared each piece for a minute or two on each side, and Seth said it was one of the best steaks he ever had. It was very tender and had a really intense flavor. So while I don’t think the broiler method worked out quite like the TV show (does it ever?), I did discover how to make an incredible tender steak.
