Well, we all know that grilling season has finally arrived. Last week, Fran came home from the grocery store with a beef shoulder tender.
This steak was already packaged and marinated with tangy vinegar, garlic, onion, and black pepper. All I had to do was grill this steak without ruining it.
The truth be known, I've never heard of this cut of beef before, so I looked it up. Here is what I discovered.
Beef tender is a cut from the shoulder and is one of the most tender cuts of beef. It is very similar to a Filet Mignon but less expensive.
Fran said this is the most tender steak that I have ever cooked on the grill. Who am I to argue with that? Here is how I grilled this petite tender beef shoulder.
I set my grill to high. The grill was ready in about 5 minutes.
- I grilled the first side for exactly 4 minutes.
- Turned the steak over and grilled the second side for 3 minutes.
- I lowered the grill setting to medium after 3 minutes on the second side.
- Turned the steak over again, closed the lid, and grilled for 10 minutes. Until the internal temperature reached 130 degrees.
- Then I let the steak rest for 5 minutes before cutting it.
This method yielded a perfectly juicy, medium-rare, tender steak. I highly recommend this cut of beef; I know you won't be sorry.
As always, thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoy.
Whether you're cooking meat on the grill, in the oven, or on the stovetop, it's always a good idea to have a good meat thermometer. And, a good, sharp
knife to cut the meat.
