Shoulder Petite Tender
A Shoulder Petite Tender is a small, lean cut of beef from the chuck section. It is one of the most tender beef muscles and is said to be a similar quality to filet mignon, but less expensive.

A Shoulder Petite Tender is a good choice for grilling, broiling, or pan-frying. It can also be cooked in a slow cooker or oven.
A Shoulder Petite Tender can be served with a variety of sides, including mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and rice. It can also be used to make sandwiches, tacos, or stews.
Recipe Ingredients:
- 2 shoulder petite tender steaks, about 1 pound each
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Baking Sheet: A baking sheet is a shallow pan that is used to cook food in the oven.
