Australian F4 Purebred Wagyu Hanging Tender Steaks — 8 oz Portions
The Butcher's Steak — Exceptionally Tender & Velvety
Exceptionally tender, juicy, and remarkably velvety, our Australian F4 Purebred Wagyu Hanging Tender Steaks are among the most impressive butcher's cuts we offer.
Also known as Hanger Steak or The Butcher's Steak, hanging tender has long been prized for its deep beef flavor and exceptional tenderness. Historically, butchers were known to keep this flavorful cut for themselves rather than put it in the display case.
When we cooked and tasted our Australian Wagyu Hanging Tender, the texture immediately reminded us of Filet Mignon. It was exceptionally juicy and tender, with a soft, almost melting quality and very little resistance in each bite.
Of all the Wagyu cuts we tasted, this was one of the two most velvety in texture.
Each steak is approximately 8 oz, professionally portioned, individually vacuum-sealed, and shipped frozen.
Featuring Australian F4 Purebred Wagyu from the producer recognized as the 2026 Australian Wagyu Association Branded Beef Competition — Purebred Wagyu Class Champion.
Why Hanging Tender Is Special
Hanging Tender is a relatively uncommon cut located near the diaphragm. There is only a limited amount on each animal, making it a longtime favorite among butchers.
While Filet Mignon is celebrated for tenderness, Hanging Tender brings something different to the table: a similarly soft, tender eating experience with a deeper, more pronounced beef flavor.
Our portions have already been trimmed and cut into convenient 8 oz steaks, eliminating the need to purchase and prepare an entire hanging tender loin.
Unlike some of our other Australian Wagyu products, this Hanging Tender was not supplied with a designated Beef Marbling Score (BMS). Rather than assigning it a grade it wasn't given, we prefer to let the exceptional quality of the cut speak for itself.
How We Recommend Cooking It
Hanging Tender is best prepared simply.
Season with coarse sea salt and sear over high heat to develop a beautifully browned exterior while keeping the center tender and juicy.
We recommend using an instant-read meat thermometer rather than relying strictly on cooking time.
For this cut, our preferred doneness is medium-rare:
-
Rare: Remove at approximately 115–120°F
-
Medium-Rare: Remove at approximately 120–125°F
-
Medium: Remove at approximately 130–135°F
Allow the steak to rest approximately 5 minutes after cooking. For maximum tenderness, slice the finished Hanging Tender against the grain before serving.
These temperatures reflect our culinary preferences. For food safety, the USDA recommends cooking whole beef steaks to an internal temperature of 145°F followed by at least a 3-minute rest.
Serving Recommendation
We recommend serving Hanging Tender sliced against the grain, accompanied by roasted vegetables, potatoes, or a simple salad.
Its rich beef flavor and remarkably tender texture make it an outstanding alternative to traditional premium steakhouse cuts.
Our recommendation: Keep it simple. Sea salt is enough.

- There is no "guaranteed delivery time." FedEx provides a courtesy estimated delivery time with your tracking number. But do not be alarmed if your package arrives later in the day or the next day. Depending on your location, or during busy holiday seasons, your package can arrive later in the day or the next day. If shipping to a business, please make arrangements if it is closed during lunch hours.
- We ship everywhere in the USA and Canada. Hawaii requires an additional $45.00 delivery charge. To place a Canadian order, please contact our customer service office
- We do not suggest shipping to a business address unless it is open until 8pm your local time and on Saturdays. FedEx can deliver packages as late as 8pm and if there is a delay they can deliver on Saturdays as well.
- Unlike a lot of seafood companies, we are actually located in ALASKA and therefore are subject to extreme weather conditions. During colder seasons, please be mindful of this. In most cases, your package will arrive in perfect condition. However, if your package is held up along the way due to foul weather conditions, neither we nor FedEx will be held liable.
- Special Events: When planning your special event, waiting until the last minute is not a good plan. Place your order early and we will arrange specific delivery dates. We can make suggestions for your important event based on the best seasonal selections available.
- Holidays: We understand that the season of giving is often a busy and challenging time. Because you are selecting perishable seafood for your celebration or as a gift, we urge you to notify your recipient and confirm they will be home during the expected delivery time. It can still be an item of surprise, but because a signature is not required (in most cases), some people are not looking for their surprise package and will let the box sit outside for an extended amount of time, leaving the items to thaw and spoil. In this event we will not be held liable for spoiled packages

On occasion, Great Alaska Seafood may deem it necessary to have the purchaser provide photographs to better resolve the issue.

We must have a picture of the box, picture of the fedex label on the box and a picture of all the products that are spoiled in order to provide a complimentary reshipment of your products and for your shipping insurance to take effect.
