What is a Hanging Tender?

Also called the hanger steak or butcher’s steak, the hanging tender comes from the diaphragm of the animal and is one of the most tender and flavorful cuts—so much so that butchers often kept it for themselves (hence the nickname). Each animal only yields one, which makes it rare and extra special.

Hanging Tender (Hanger Steak)

Our Hanging Tender, also known as the hanger steak, is one of the most prized cuts of beef—tender like a filet but with the bold flavor of a ribeye. Each steer or heifer yields just one of these cuts, making it a rare treat for true beef lovers. Best cooked quickly over high heat, it’s perfect for grilling, pan-searing, or slicing thin for steak salads or tacos.
