The insider tip among connoisseurs - the Teres Major fillet is a wonderful cut from the shoulder of beef that is perfect for short roasting. Anyone who enjoys this meat has arrived in steak heaven.
Meat knowledge
Weighing between 300 and 350 grams, this steak is not a heavyweight, but in terms of flavour it is in the absolute top league! Also known as the Petite Tender, it is something of a grill holy grail for steak lovers.
Love me tender - The Teres Major treat
Once again, the part of the body from which the fillet is taken gives it its name. In this case, the Teres Major muscle. Located on the inside of the shoulder blade, it is practically always in motion, helping the legs to move. It is therefore in constant use in our free-range cattle.
It is this constant movement of the muscle that makes the fillet incredibly tender and short-fibred. A real treat not to be missed. Black Label meets Black Angus
Our exclusive Black Label Teres Major fillets are sourced exclusively from Black Angus cattle from the beautiful Waldviertel region of Austria. With such great meat quality, fabulous marbling and unsurpassed flavour, these Teres Major fillets absolutely deserve our Fitmeat Black Label.
Due to the relatively even thickness of the fillet, the Teres Major can be grilled or roasted whole. We recommend medium-rare to medium-rare, aiming for a core temperature of 53-55°C. The steak should be cooked to medium rare before grilling.
The steak should be allowed to come to room temperature before cooking and then seared on both sides. Once a crust has formed, it can be seasoned with pepper and coarse sea salt. The steak should now be ready to cook or rest.
Recommendation for cooking
Medium rare at approx. 53 °C core temperature
Quantity per person
We recommend one to two steaks per person.
Herkunft und Haltung
Quality is our top priority and, when it comes to beef, a few factors are crucial. These include the perfect breed of cattle, the age of the animals and optimum feeding, free from concentrated feed.
However, this alone is not enough to meet our requirements. We don't do things by halves when it comes to the quality of our meat products! That's why 100% of our animals come from Austria. The farms are located in the lake district of the Salzkammergut in beautiful Upper Austria.
At Fitmeat, we also only process the finest meat from heifers, also known as calves, and steers. The meat has a wonderful marbling and a delicious flavour. Our classic cattle breeds also include Red-Angus, Black-Angus, Charolais, Limousin, White-Blue Belgian and Wagyu, as well as various crossbreeds.
Our cattle are 4x AT labelled. This means that birth, rearing, slaughter and cutting take place 100% in Austria. The value chain therefore remains entirely in Austria. We distance ourselves from long animal transports and select our partners very carefully. We therefore rely on animals that are kept in a species-appropriate manner, born and raised by small farmers, and on butchers who know both the farmer and the animal personally.
Our butchers allow the cuts to mature on the bone for a long time. This gives us first-class, well-hung meat that does not lose any water during roasting and can be enjoyed with a clear conscience.
