ARE YOU A TRUE MEAT LOVER?

If you're looking to try something new, the Simmental Petite tender is a perfect choice for those who want something different than the classic steak. This special cut of meat comes from the Alpine Fleckvieh cattle that graze the pristine alpine meadows of Germany and Austria. The meat is tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The Simmental Petite tender is a top pick for true gourmets who love natural beef with rich marbling and refined taste.

WHAT IS A PETITE TENDER?

Also known as the Jewish tenderloin, the Petite tender is an exceptionally tender cut from the shoulder of the cow. Since this part of the animal is less active, the meat has a fine, soft texture. The Simmental Petite tender we offer at The Butchery is an excellent alternative to filet mignon and is attractively priced. Its tender texture and rich flavor make it ideal for steak, steak tartare, or a flavorful tataki.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PETITE TENDER, HANGER STEAK, AND FILET MIGNON

Though these cuts may sound similar, they differ in texture. Filet mignon is known as the most tender muscle and is often used for tournedos. Hanger steak has a coarser structure and a firmer bite. The Petite tender sits right in between: tender but full of flavor. The Simmental version stands out for its beautiful marbling, making the meat both juicy and tender — perfect for true meat enthusiasts.

WHERE DOES THE NAME PETITE TENDER COME FROM?

The name originates from Antwerp's diamond district, where the cut became popular, especially within the Jewish community. Since it comes from the shoulder, and not the hindquarters, it was allowed under Jewish dietary laws. It quickly became a beloved alternative to filet mignon and gained the nickname Jewish tenderloin. With its rich history and luxurious image, it has become a popular choice for discerning food lovers.

SIMMENTAL PETITE TENDER ON THE BBQ

Want to impress with your BBQ skills? The Simmental Petite tender is perfect for the grill. Thanks to its marbling and rich flavor, this cut becomes a true showstopper. Remove the steak from the fridge 30 minutes beforehand and pat it dry. Season with salt and pepper, then grill at high heat until perfectly medium rare. Use a meat thermometer for ideal doneness and turn your BBQ into a culinary highlight.

SIMMENTAL PETITE TENDER FROM THE ALPS

This tender cut comes from Alpine Fleckvieh cattle, grazing the untouched meadows of Germany and Austria. These cattle are at least three years old, have calved at least twice, and feed exclusively on grass and herbs. This results in an authentic, rich flavor unmatched by other beef. The meat is high in protein, deeply flavorful, and beautifully marbled for perfect tenderness and juiciness.

GRASS FED SIMMENTAL PETITE TENDER

Raised entirely on grass, the meat of these Alpine Fleckvieh cattle offers a flavor boost and contains healthy fats that give the beef its luxurious character. The marbling delivers intense juiciness and a buttery, rich taste. This natural beef is a top choice for anyone who values authentic, grass fed quality.
