Teres Major Steak

The Wagyu Teres Major from Hook & Cleaver Ranch is a true hidden treasure, often called the “butcher’s tenderloin” for its exceptional tenderness and refined, beef-forward flavor. Raised in Salmon, Idaho, our Akaushi cattle roam freely across more than 250,000 acres of open land, contributing to the natural integrity and superior quality of every cut. Sourced from the shoulder, this small and naturally lean muscle is prized for its silky texture and remarkable softness, rivaling filet mignon while offering a more pronounced depth of flavor. When elevated by the signature marbling of American Akaushi Wagyu, the Teres Major develops enhanced juiciness and a subtle buttery richness that makes each bite smooth, balanced, and deeply satisfying.

Compact and versatile, the American Akaushi Wagyu Teres Major is ideal for elegant individual portions, slicing into medallions, or preparing as refined finger steaks. It performs beautifully when grilled, roasted, or pan-seared to medium-rare, allowing its natural tenderness and expressive flavor to shine. Whether served as a sophisticated dinner centerpiece or plated in smaller portions for an elevated presentation, this premium Wagyu cut delivers restaurant-quality results at home. Each order is carefully shipped in premium thermal packaging developed in California that is 100% recyclable, ensuring your beef arrives fresh and responsibly packaged from the expansive Idaho pastures directly to your table.
