Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Using a paring knife, clean and trim all silverback from the tenderloin.
  2. Using a chef's knife cut away the point, or thin part of the loin. (I reserve this piece for anyone who wants a well done piece of meat or julienne it later to make a kick-ass gourmet cheesesteak).
  3. Cut the remaining loin into steaks approximately 1 and 1/2 inches thick.
  4. Arrange the steaks on a plate and return to refrigerator.
  5. Separate the rosemary leaves from the sprigs.
  6. Using a chef's knife cut the rosemary into 1/4 inch pieces.

  9. Pat steaks dry with a clean paper towel.
  10. Generously season one side of the steaks with the rosemary-salt and some freshly ground black pepper.
  11. Repeat steps 9 and 10 for the other side.
