    1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
    2. To make the Dressing: Put mayonnaise, lowfat sour cream, ginger, garlic, sesame oil and rice vinegar in a blender or possibly food processor mix till combined. Scrape down the sides of the blender or possibly work bowl with a rubber spatula, mix for another 15 seconds. Transfer to a bowl, add in the cilantro and mix well with whisk. Set aside.
    3. Make the Spice Rub: Toast peppercorns and anise seeds in a dry large heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring till fragrant, about 1 minute. Finely grind toasted mix in an electric coffee/spice grinder or possibly with a mortar and pestle. Sift mix through a coarse sieve into a bowl and stir in salt, five-spice pwdr, and ginger.
    4. Halve beef crosswise and sprinkle rub all over both pcs, pressing to adhere.
    5. Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet with a metal handle over moderately-high heat till just smoking, then brown 1 piece of beef on all sides, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large plate. Wipe the skillet clean with paper towels and brown remaining beef in same manner.
    6. Arrange beef pcs, 2 inches apart, in the skillet. Roast in middle of oven 25 to 35 min, or possibly till a thermometer inserted diagonally 2-inches into centers of each piece registers 120 degrees. Let beef stand in pan on a rack for 25 min. Beef will continue to cook as it stands, reaching 130 degrees (medium-rare). Throw away string and slice beef.
