Cooking methods
Typical methods include high-heat searing or grilling for steaks, resting before slicing, and cutting across the grain when the muscle is fibrous. Because this cut sits on the offal primal (Connective tissue at joints — particularly the hock/lower leg), adjust time and temperature to thickness and marbling.
