Petit Tender is a small lean cut of meat which is nearly as tender as beef tenderloin at one quarter of the price. This is another cut that I found by accident while standing in front of a butcher’s counter and seeing this small cut and wondering, out loud, what it was. A stranger standing next to me said, it’s really good, almost like a filet of beef and I should try it. And so I did, more than once, and was pleased to see it at a local grocer recently.
It cooks like a filet, it slices like a filet and it tastes like a filet. I cooked like I cooked my Butcher’s Cut Chuck Eye Steak. Keep it more on a medium rare side for even more tender slices.
