SRF Black® The ideal balance of rich marbling, bold flavor and versatility. An excellent choice for both weeknight meals and special occasions.

Humanely Raised Beef

Wet-Aged For 21+ Days

Family-Owned & Operated

The bavette known by the less flattering name “flap meat” is a steak worth exploring. Like skirt steak, the bavette has a pronounced grain and it’s critical to cut against the grain. Bavette loves high heat so sear on a hot grill or cast iron pan and serve medium rare. This delicious cut loves to be marinated, so feel free to use your personal recipe for a delectable meal.

Popular with Asian, Latin American and French chefs because of its rich flavor, it’s more common these days on menus and in butcher shops. Our American Wagyu bavette is well marbled and has a rich buttery aroma and flavor. Bavette means “bib” in French and describes its irregular shape. We cut three sections from each large piece, so each individual steak is a little different. No matter what shape, this is a butcher’s secret to be enjoyed.

Average weight: 1.5 lbs.

The bavette works well seared on a hot grill or skillet. We recommend a medium rare finish. The rough texture of the bavette caramelizes beautifully over high heat to add texture and flavor.

Internal temperature is the most accurate way to know if your steak is done. Target 120°F for medium rare and 130°F for medium.

Rest your steak at least 10 minutes before serving to let the internal temperature equalize and allow the juices to be reabsorbed.

This cut has a coarse grain that runs along the short side. Rotate the bavette and cut against the grain.
