What is a teres major?
The teres major steak is a pretty rare cut of beef that comes from the chuck section which is right below the front leg. Similar to the well-known cut the chuck roast, but the teres major is much more tender. It’s similar to the tenderloin in terms of tenderness but is rarely more than 10-12 ounces. Other popular names for it include the beef shoulder tender petite roast, bistro filet, and shoulder petite tender. While coming in second on the tenderness scale, most would rate the teres major steak first in flavor. 

A little about our beef:
The families of Painted Hills Natural Beef are ranchers in Wheeler County, Central Oregon. They raise cattle and steward the land in the shadow of the state’s famed Painted Hills for generations. While times have changed in the last two and a half decades, ranching the way nature intended has not. We’re proud to pasture raise our cattle without added hormones and no antibiotics. We raise a beef product for you as striking as the natural wonders it’s named after.

Above all, we thank you for trusting us to feed you and your loved ones. Of course, we’d love to see the finished beef recipe, if you try this whole 30 dinner, gluten-free and dairy-free recipe, tag us in a post on social media.
