we made it for our valentine's Day dinner. It's very good and pretty easy to make. We'll try this again in the future. It paired well with asparagus and rice and veggies.

I suggest covering it for an additional 10 minutes and cooking it over a medium fire. That tenderizes the meat a little bit more.
