A lesser-known steak for true connoisseurs

When you think of delicious steak, names like entrecôte and rib-eye probably come to mind.

The teres major is a rare cut of meat that comes from the cow’s shoulder. It has a fine texture and subtle marbling, resulting in an incredibly tender and flavorful steak. Compared to other steaks, it’s less well-known but certainly no less delicious. The name “diamant steak” (literally “diamond tender”) reflects its value — and rightfully so. Want to enjoy a flavorful teres major? At BEEF&STEAK, you can easily order this premium cut online.

Teres major offers a wide range of culinary possibilities

One of the most popular ways to prepare it is by grilling it as a steak. The meat naturally has a great flavor, so a bit of salt and pepper is often all you need. But there are many more ways to enjoy this delicious cut. For example, you can cook it slowly in the oven for a juicy and tender result. Season it with your favorite herbs and let it cook gently for an unforgettable flavor experience.

On a summer day, nothing beats teres major on the BBQ. The smoky aroma perfectly complements the natural flavor of this meat. For adventurous eaters, it’s also an excellent choice for steak tartare. Finely chop the meat and mix it with seasonings, onion, and an egg yolk for a classic dish.

Meat with a unique shape and flavor

What makes the teres major special is not only its flavor but also its distinctive shape. Located between the shoulders of the cow, this cut has a unique form. With a bit of imagination, you can actually see the outline of a diamond — hence the name diamond steak.

The origin of the term “Jewish Tenderloin”

The name “Jewish tenderloin” is directly related to traditional Jewish dietary laws. According to these laws, it is not permitted to eat meat from the hindquarters of a cow. However, since the teres major comes from the front shoulder, it could be eaten by those following kosher rules. That’s why this cut became known as the Jewish tenderloin.

How to best prepare Teres Major

Teres major is highly versatile and can be cooked in various ways — grilled, pan-seared, or roasted. For the best flavor and tenderness, we recommend cooking it briefly over high heat so it remains beautifully pink inside. Season to taste and let it rest before slicing, allowing the juices to redistribute for maximum flavor.
