Teres Major

The Teres Major is a lesser-known but extremely tasty butcher's cut, which comes from the rarely used muscle below the shoulder blade at the rear of the beef shoulder. Often mistaken for the fillet, it is particularly tender and juicy, making it an insider tip among meat lovers. This cut is ideal for pan-frying or grilling Teres Major steaks. Cooked at a temperature of around 56°C, it develops an intense flavor and remains beautifully tender. It can be cut into medallions and cooked on both sides for a truly delicious meal. The Petite Tender is another example of the most tender cuts of beef and is often referred to as a delicious burger joint. Cutting the meat across the grain further enhances its tenderness. It is ideally seasoned with garlic and pepper and, when combined with a short aging period, can be used as a perfect grilled dish. With the right cut and preparation at low temperatures, the Teres Major becomes the highlight of every BBQ and a real treat for all meat lovers
