A hanging tender is one of those very special cuts that you won't find at the butcher's counter. This two-part piece – connected by a central tendon – which connoisseurs also know as a "hanger steak," comes from the inside of the beef belly and is only a small portion.
Only one "hanging tender" steak can be obtained per cow. – A little tip for preparation: Similar to flap or flank steak, you don't cut it into medallions, but rather grill or smoke the meat whole. Although the hanging tender is a very fibrous steak, if you grill it slowly and to medium, you can expect a fantastic taste experience. A real insider tip for gourmets and anyone who likes to try something a little different when it comes to enjoying meat.
By the way: Like almost all special cuts, this very special cut also comes from the USA after sufficient aging. – So, if you choose a hanging tender from US cattle and from Kreutzers, you can enjoy a top-quality cut, prepared by highly experienced butchers and cared for until it reaches perfect maturity.

For some of our products, you'll find "TKF" after the name. This means that you can choose the frozen version when ordering your product (please don't be confused by the best-before date upon delivery; this only applies to chilled goods).
For the sake of sustainability, and to ensure nothing goes to waste, we flash-freeze all items that we cannot sell fresh in time. This is done well before the best-before date at a storage temperature below 2°C, thus preserving the high quality of the product.
"Frozen fresh" does not mean that you get lower quality, but simply that you receive this product frozen.
