Teres Major Steak

Average weight: 0.7–1.1 lbs per package
(typically 2 small steaks per pack)

Teres Major is a lean, tender cut from the shoulder, known for its consistent texture and mild, beefy flavor. Often compared to filet mignon for tenderness, it cooks quickly and works well for both weeknight meals and special occasions.

Cooking Tips:

• Best cooked to medium-rare or medium (130-140°F internal temperature)
• Let the steak rest at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking
• Sear over high heat for 3-4 minutes per side, then finish in a 400°F oven if needed
• Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing against the grain
• Slice thinly across the grain for maximum tenderness
• Simple seasoning works best – salt, pepper, and garlic let the natural beef flavor shine
• Avoid overcooking to preserve tenderness

Meal Ideas:

• Pan-seared steak with red wine reduction and mushrooms
• Sliced steak over mixed greens with blue cheese
• Steak tacos with chimichurri and pickled onions
• Asian-style steak with teriyaki glaze and sesame seeds
• Steak sandwiches with caramelized onions and horseradish aioli
• Grilled steak with herb compound butter and roasted vegetables
