Swiss beef petite tender (teres major)

Beef comes from one to two years old male or female animals. The meat is marbled, which means that small fat deposits are visible in the muscles. The marbling is a characteristic quality feature. Depending on age and breed, the structure of the muscle fibres differs. Beef has a light to bright red colour. Rosy on the inside and crispy brown on the outside – for many meat lovers, beef is the highest of highs. You can prepare classic dishes with the inexpensive cuts from the forequarter by stewing or braising them. The cuts from the hindquarter are primal cuts and are mainly sautéed.
