Australian Wagyu Hanging Tender is a distinctive, flavorful cut prized for its deep beef flavor, tenderness and versatility. Also commonly known as hanger steak, this cut comes from the area near the diaphragm and is sometimes called the “butcher’s steak” because it has traditionally been a favorite among butchers for its rich flavor.
Our Australian Wagyu Hanging Tender is sold in a substantial approximately 4–4.5 lb package, making it an excellent choice for family dinners, entertaining, grilling or portioning into individual steaks.
Unlike our Australian Wagyu products that are sold with a specific Beef Marbling Score (BMS), this Hanging Tender was not supplied with a designated BMS grade, so we do not assign or advertise a marbling score for this product.
Each package is vacuum sealed and shipped frozen.
This product includes approximately 4–4.5 lbs of Australian Wagyu Hanging Tender.
Why Choose Australian Wagyu Hanging Tender?
Hanging tender is a relatively uncommon cut compared with ribeye, filet mignon or New York strip, but it has long been appreciated for its exceptionally robust beef flavor.
The muscle has a naturally coarse grain and responds particularly well to high-heat cooking followed by slicing across the grain. When properly prepared, it delivers a rich, steakhouse-style eating experience with considerably more character than many traditional steak cuts.
Its combination of flavor, versatility and limited availability makes hanging tender an excellent choice for anyone looking to explore beyond the familiar premium cuts.
Premium Australian Wagyu
Our premium Australian Wagyu is raised in Australia under carefully managed feeding and animal-welfare programs designed to produce consistent, high-quality beef.
The cattle are grass fed before being finished on a high-energy grain diet featuring Australian barley and wheat. This extended feeding program helps develop the tenderness, juiciness and rich flavor associated with premium Australian Wagyu.
Our Australian Wagyu cattle are HGP (Hormone Growth Promotant) Free.

How to Cook Australian Wagyu Hanging Tender
Hanging tender has excellent beef flavor and is best cooked quickly over relatively high heat. Because the grain of the meat is pronounced, proper slicing is especially important.
Ingredients
-
Australian Wagyu Hanging Tender
-
Kosher salt
-
Freshly ground black pepper, optional
Instructions
-
Thaw completely.
Thaw the Hanging Tender under refrigeration before cooking. -
Prepare the meat.
Remove the beef from the packaging and pat the exterior dry with paper towels. If necessary, trim any obvious silver skin or connective tissue before cooking. -
Portion if desired.
Depending on how you plan to serve it, the Hanging Tender can be cooked in larger sections or portioned into individual steaks. -
Season simply.
Season generously with kosher salt. Freshly ground black pepper may also be added if desired. -
Preheat your grill or cast-iron skillet.
Use high heat and allow the cooking surface to become thoroughly hot before adding the beef. -
Cook by internal temperature.
Sear the Hanging Tender until a deeply browned exterior develops, turning as necessary for even cooking. Because individual portions and thicknesses can vary, use an instant-read thermometer rather than relying solely on cooking time. -
Remove at your preferred temperature.
For best results, we recommend approximately:-
125–130°F: Medium rare
-
130–135°F: Medium
-
-
Rest before slicing.
Allow the meat to rest for approximately 5–10 minutes after cooking. -
Slice across the grain.
This is particularly important with hanging tender. Identify the direction of the muscle fibers and slice thinly across the grain for the most tender eating experience.
Tim’s Cooking Tip
Don't overlook the slicing direction on Hanging Tender. The cut has a pronounced grain, so slicing across it can make a substantial difference in tenderness. Cook by internal temperature, allow the meat to rest, and then slice across the grain immediately before serving.

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.
