PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS

PAN SEARED GARLIC

Season well; sear 5–7 minutes per side in butter with smashed garlic and thyme. Baste and rest before slicing.

HERB CRUSTED

Crust with crushed rosemary and thyme; pan-sear in butter and finish with lemon and capers for brightness.

APPLE CIDER GLAZED

Pan-sear, then reduce Apple Cider Vinegar with butter and herbs for a tangy glaze (avoid sweet apple cider).

GRILLED WITH BBQ

Grill 5–6 minutes per side; brush with BBQ Sauce (Sugar-Free) in the last minute for smoky-sweet flavor.
