$22 0.50-0.75 Lbs / Ships Fresh
Lean, tender, and full of flavor, the Hickory Nut Gap Petit Tender, also known as the Bistro Filet or Teres Major, is a hidden gem among beef cuts. Often compared to filet mignon for its buttery texture, this petite cut offers exceptional tenderness with a rich, beefy depth. Hickory Nut Gap 100% grassfed, grass-finished petit tenders reflect the care of cattle raised using regenerative practices, resulting in clean, nuanced flavor in every bite. Perfect for quick searing or grilling, this versatile cut delivers an elevated steakhouse experience at home. As always, Hickory Nut Gap grass-fed beef comes from animals raised their entire lives on family farms throughout the Southeastern US.
What's
In It?
The Teres Major is a butcher's cut from the shoulder of the cattle. The muscles around this small piece of meat are developed by the animal's active life on pasture, and because of this, the Teres Major has an amazing flavor. There's a lot of work that goes into retrieving these small steaks (we only get 2 lbs from every 1,400 lbs beef!), but it's so worth it!

Cooking Notes
This is a high and fast cook. Season the outside with salt and pepper and pre-heat some grape seed oil in a pan until it’s nice and hot. This cut takes under 10 minutes to cook and should be kept rare to medium rare. After resting, slice and sprinkle with some flake or finishing salt.
