Petite Tender Steak (Wagyu Teres Major)
Often compared to a mini tenderloin, the Petite Tender (beef cut from the teres major shoulder muscle) is one of the most tender and underrated steaks you can buy. With Wagyu’s signature marbling, this lean, elegantly shaped cut delivers a buttery, velvety bite with a clean, refined flavor. Its size makes it ideal for quick, high-heat cooking, offering filet-like tenderness at an exceptional value. Petite tender steak is perfect for elevated weeknight meals or restaurant-quality plating.

Culinary Tips
Let the Beef Shine: Wagyu’s inherent richness needs little embellishment. A light touch of salt and pepper is often all it requires.
Sear with Intention: Use high heat and a quick sear to develop a flavorful crust while preserving the tender, buttery interior.
Honor the Doneness: Wagyu is at its best when cooked medium-rare to medium; anything further can mute its signature texture and depth.
Allow It to Rest: After cooking, give the beef time to rest so the juices can settle, ensuring every bite is as succulent as the last.

At Firegrass, the hallmark of Wagyu is its marbling — the fine web of intramuscular fat that delivers unmatched tenderness and flavor. Our Digital Marbling Percentage (DMP) measures that richness with precision, so the chart below shows exactly how each cut achieves its depth of character.
