I bought teres major at a local whole Foods. I googled it because I have never heard of it. I prepared it by seeRING it in a cast-iron skillet and baking it at 400 Following a recipe
Best steak I ever had I prepare hamburgers and any kind of steak like that. I can’t believe how good it comes out. I did not marinated It. I just rub it with gravy master and sprinkle with Montreal steak seasoning.
I LOVE IT
Well that’s how much I love it

I know this comments coming 6 years or so after this article was uploaded, but I actually work as a cook/chef, and we use this particular cut a lot.

It’s nearly impossible to fuck up cooking it, unless you over season it, or over cook the hell out of it.

And by that I don’t mean forgetting it’s in the over for 15 or 30 minutes —even if you do that it’ll still probably come out fine— I mean completely forgetting about it and leaving it in the over or on the stove for hours.

Rare to well done, this cut will almost certainly be tender. I’ve used it for steak tacos, wellingtons, dianes, Marsala and lots more. All around a great cut of meat!

I have always been shy, although I can “act” pretty well when I need too, but it is never fun…the steak looks delicious!

I love how we can be on the same wavelength, half a continent apart, and not communicating openly!! I brought home an entire chuck shoulder clod to fabricate today, and here was your post!! Sadly, this time, someone else snagged off this prime little muscle before it was packaged…some smart meat cutter! I found the teres major muscle the last time I bought a whole shoulder clod, and I treated it like a mini filet, and much to my delight, it behaved exactly as I was praying it would! Great explanation!! And yes, I have a few secrets… *Ü*

I’ve always been painfully shy as well. It’s gotten easier as I get older, but the awkwardness is still there. I recently read a book called “The Fine Art of Small Talk” which has really helped me pretend to be an extrovert.

Love the story and totally relate. I’ve always been somewhat reserved and cautious – definitely not an extrovert, i.e., as in last one on the dance floor and things like that. 🙂 But times have changed and so have we – as witnessed by our involvement in blogging and putting ourselves out there for all the world to see, right?

Thanks for the introduction to the teres major.

I love this post… and the story you weave. I was and still am the same way. I spent my childhood and teen years and beyond hiding from people for fear of being noticed and spoke to. But once I make a friend I am completely the opposite. Funny. And this steak looks to me like the flank steak I grew up eating and which grills beautifully – perfect with a marinade.

Sometimes shyness can be a tool for the curious. I love finding out about other people’s lives..where they came from and where they are interested in going..what they do for work and play, their political leanings, their loves and likes and hates..do they like to garden, sing, cook…are they open or closed-minded. To overcome my innate shyness I get the other person talking about themselves and the rest takes care of itself.
I shall try teres major soon…it looks yummy.
