Beef Grading
Chefs and butchers discovered the teres major many years ago, but it’s a delicious cut to add to your steak shopping list. Each teres major is shaped like a small beef tenderloin and can be cooked or grilled whole and then sliced across the grain into round medallions.
This naturally tender cut requires a skilled butcher to extract it from the shoulder muscles, so it is not commonly found in grocery meat cases. The teres major is tender with a lot of beef flavor. It’s delicious with just salt and pepper, but this steak works well with your favorite seasonings and sauces.
Average weight: 1.5 lbs. Each package contains 2 steaks.
The two top USDA grades are Prime and Choice, which have the highest levels of marbling.
USDA Prime is the top grade on the USDA scale with the highest amount of marbling. Only 8 to 10% of all U.S. beef achieves this grade.
USDA Choice falls directly below USDA Prime. Choice beef is high quality and has less marbling but offers an excellent value.
