Butcher's Notes
How to Cook It
Score the fat cap in a crosshatch pattern and season with coarse salt.
Grill fat-side down first to render the cap, then sear all sides over high heat.
Rest 10 minutes, then slice against the grain into individual steaks.
The fat cap isn't a trim job — it's the whole point.
