This large primal comes from the shoulder area and yields cuts known for their rich, beefy flavor. Features roasts ideal for slow-cooking as well as more tender, grill-ready cuts such as the Flat Iron Steak.

Shoulder tender medallions are small and juicy, tender cuts of beef from the shoulder tenderloin or teres major — one of the most tender muscles on the animal. They are a less-expensive alternative to filet mignon with a similar tenderness and lean flavor.

The Petite Tender comes from the Chuck, or shoulder, of the beef. There are only 2 of this cuts per animal. Shaped like the tenderloin, this cut is much smaller than it’s better known cousin, but some say it’s almost as tender as filet mignon.

The first time I cooked a petite tender, I grilled it whole, on the grill over high heat for about 10 minutes. However, even after letting it rest for 10 minutes, it was still pretty red inside. Tasty, but a little too rare for our liking.
