Petite Tender Angus Wagyu USA BMS 5+

Petite Tender Angus Wagyu USA BMS 5+ is the kind of steak that does not need much fuss. Petite Tender already has a fine texture and is naturally tender, while the marbling of this American Angus Wagyu adds extra flavour and juiciness. BMS 5+ refers to the visible intramuscular fat running through the beef. As the steak cooks, part of that fat melts into the meat and helps keep it juicy. Exactly what you want from a cut that is best cooked quickly over high heat. Give it a few minutes to rest afterwards and keep the seasoning simple. A little coarse salt is usually enough. When the beef is this good, there is no reason to hide it.

What is Petite Tender?

Petite Tender is a small cut taken from the shoulder of the animal. Despite coming from the shoulder, it is remarkably tender because this particular muscle does relatively little work. The cut is long and narrow with a fine grain, making it well suited to quick cooking in a hot pan or on the barbecue. You can cook it whole and slice it afterwards or cut it into smaller medallions. We prefer it rare to medium so the meat keeps its tenderness and juiciness. Once cooked, leave it to rest for a few minutes before slicing across the grain. It is a small detail, but with Petite Tender it makes a noticeable difference on the plate.

Angus Wagyu USA

This Petite Tender comes from American Black Marble Wagyu, a cross between Wagyu and Black Angus cattle. According to our breed information, the cattle are raised in open areas and receive a balanced grain diet during the final stage. That feeding contributes to the marbling and flavour of the beef. Wagyu is known for its intramuscular fat, while Black Angus adds its recognisable beef flavour and structure. With a BMS 5+ steak, the marbling has a clear role once the meat hits the heat. Our breed information specifically describes Black Marble Wagyu Petite Tender as a tender steak where the marbling adds richness and softness. Petite Tender is naturally tender already, so the extra fat running through the meat suits this cut particularly well.
