So called, I believe, because it hangs off the diaphragm. Also the only loner muscle in mammals? Can that be right? Something like that–only non-symmetrical muscle… someone should google that.
In any case, it is a delicious cut of meat. Somewhat newly fashionable. Something the butcher used to keep for himself. Something young chefs are throwing on menus left and right. We tucked into a fabulous version last night at a friend’s house. Marinated in rosemary, nicely seared, and cooked to a perfect medium-rare. I am full of iron. Ready to take on the world.
