First Light Wagyu Butt Tender

The butt tender is the boneless portion of the tenderloin muscle that remains in the sirloin butt, after removal of the shortloin. Translation: After a bit of trimming, you can cut yourself some fantastic tenderloin steaks from this cut. Great value for money. Great short video on how to trim this cut on Youtube HERE. The trim takes about 10 minutes and you end up with 5-7 (or more) tenderloin-quality steaks plus some usable trimmings. See the pics for our recent home-trimming job on this cut! Once cut into steaks, cook like you would any other tenderloin, Can also be cooked as a fantastically tender roast. Sold by weight! If you are looking for a specific weight, add a few pieces to your cart (the specific weights of those pieces will be displayed), and then remove the ones you don't want. -- About the producer: "Like steak with headphones on." That's Mark Schatzker, author of Steak: One Man's Search for the World's Tastiest Piece of Beef, describing our new 100% grass-fed wagyu from First Light Farms in New Zealand - what he considers to be the best beef in the world. We agree. Why? First Light were the first farmers in the world to marry the incredible marbling that wagyu genetics can deliver with a 100% grass-fed diet on lush New Zealand grassland & healthy soils. That means you get the deep, sweet, nutty flavor of wagyu - developed by a lifelong of grazing healthy pasture - accentuated by rich, natural marbling. It took a decade of fine-tuning the process, but First Light nailed it. The end result is beef that is both incredibly delicious (winners of the World Steak Challenge for 4 out of the last 5 years) AND incredibly healthy - First Light's grass-fed wagyu tenderloin tested at an incredible 1:1.3 omega 3 to 6 fatty acid ratio, a basically perfect score, meaning that this very nutrient-dense meat will not cause inflammation. (In fact, it was the healthiest ratio ever tested by the lab at the University of Toronto - which is not surprising given that grain-fed beef typically ranges from 1:9 to 1:25.)
