"Fold maybe 6-8 inches of that tapered in back on itself and tie it off. That will make the skinny end much closer to the thickness of the fat end and allow for the roast to cook evenly," he says. "Trussing the rest of the tenderloin with tight circles of butcher's twine every couple inches will also keep the tenderloin round rather than allowing it to flatten out, which will also help with cooking evenly."

There is no wrong steak to order in a good steakhouse, but there are some cuts whose reputation exceeds the actual experience. You may know ribeyes and New York strips, but if you are not a steak obsessive, you may not know what actually makes one or another desirable. In that case, a reasonable assumption is that the more expensive cuts are the best ones.
