Petite Tenders / Mock filets

[chopsaw]

Petite Tenders (Teres Majors) are only about 10 inches long and tapered on both ends.

Yup , and only two per animal . One on each side . Comes from the shoulder .
Chuck tender roast is not the same as Mosparky said .

That's a fine looking meal and gotta try that cut now !

Thanks bud . They can be hard to find , and the price needs to be right . Just make sure you're buying the right thing or you'll get a cut that needs to be braised .

Chop that’s five star cooking right there!! I’d pay a pretty penny for that. Love the seasoned butter and herbs finish.

Thanks for that comment .
Yup . I make the butter most times , but this is one my Son gets where he works . It's good , and I like to let him get involved . He gets all the herbs and stuff . He makes great sauces , and really knows his flavor profiles .
Oh , and a meal for you ,,,, no charge .

So, these look delicious but I have NEVER seen them for sale anywhere. Where do you get them?

Thanks . I buy them at Gordon's food service . Happened on them by mistake . Now if they have them $7.00 a pound or less I grab a bag . They were up to $10.99 a lb.

Most people would pay half a days paycheck for that meal!

I guess that would depend on what you make , lol . Thanks for looking and the comment .

Love the CI pics, thank you!

Thanks . That's a pre 60's Wagner Ware Sidney 0 . Ate many a meal out of that pan when I was a kid .
I have 3 pieces that are from family . 2 from mine , and 1 from the wife's .

Y'all just be careful what you buy. Chuck Tenders/ Petite Tenders are not to be confused with Mock Tenders/Scotch Tenders. That is a completely different cut and tough as all get out. About the same size and shape as an Eye of Round. Big on one end and tapered on the other.
Petite Tenders (Teres Majors) are only about 10 inches long and tapered on both ends. (see Chops earlier pics)and about 2- 2 1/2 inches across at most in the center..

Yup , and only two per animal . One on each side . Comes from the shoulder .
Chuck tender roast is not the same as Mosparky said .

So this (Below) is completely different & probably something Tough?

Yeah , that's not them . I believe it comes from the same area , just a larger hard working muscle . That's why it hard to know sometimes .

Chuck Tender Steak

Lean cut that resembles a Tenderloin Steak but is not as tender. Slow-cook or tenderize with a marinade before grilling.

Chuck tender can be a roast cut , and those are most likely cut from the roast .
That's why I say GFS labels as " chuck tenders " is not the correct name , to me . Makes me think roast . Like Mosparky said big on one end and tapers down on the other end . Talking about a chuck tender roast .

You get into a problem because some of these meat counters / stores don't employ skilled trade meat cutters anymore .

OK Thanks Rich!!
So I'll stay away from them.
Or maybe when they get them in, I'll get one pack of them & see how tough they are, and if they're real tough, I'll just Sous Vide them.

Thanks Again!
