Hanging Tender

Farm Fresh Hanging Tender is a highly prized, tender cut of beef that comes from the diaphragm area of the cow. Also known as "hangar steak" or "butcher's steak," this cut is often considered one of the best-kept secrets of the beef world due to its exceptional tenderness and rich, beefy flavor. The hanging tender gets its name from the way it "hangs" within the cow's diaphragm, and it's typically a smaller cut, yet packed with a robust flavor that rivals more well-known steaks like the ribeye or New York strip.

What makes the hanging tender so special is its perfect balance of marbling and muscle, which ensures a rich, juicy eating experience. Though it is tender, it has a slightly firmer texture compared to cuts like filet mignon, giving it a nice chew that holds up well when grilled, pan-seared, or broiled. The flavor is deep and beefy, often enhanced when marinated, making it ideal for quick, high-heat cooking methods.

Since it's less commonly found in grocery stores, this cut is often sought after by chefs and home cooks who appreciate its unique characteristics. Farm fresh hanging tender comes from cattle that have been raised in a natural, pasture-based environment, contributing to its superior flavor and quality. The meat is free from additives and hormones, providing a cleaner, more authentic beef taste.

Our hanging tender is a versatile cut in one pound packages that can be used for steaks, sliced thin for fajitas, or served as a hearty, flavorful main dish. It’s perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a premium beef experience without the premium price of more traditional cuts.
