Mock Tender Steaks

2 lbs Mock Tender Steak

Beef mock tender steak is a cut taken from the shoulder area, specifically the chuck primal, and is known for its lean nature and somewhat tender texture despite its name. The "mock" tender part refers to its resemblance to a tenderloin steak, but it can still be tough due to the muscle fibers. When cooked properly, usually through slow cooking, braising, or marinating, it becomes more tender and flavorful. It’s a budget-friendly option that works well for dishes like stews, stir-fries, or grilled steaks when prepared with care to ensure tenderness.
