Chuck Tender | Lean

Also Known As: Chuck Eye; Chuck Filet; Chuck Mock Tender Roast; Medallion Pot Roast; Scotch Tender

The name of this cut comes from its shape—long and narrow with a pointed tip, similar to a Tenderloin—rather than its tenderness. The muscle is very lean and should be slow-cooked rather than roasted or grilled.

Butcher's Note

Also referred to as “Mock Tender” because it has a similar appearance to a Tenderloin.

What are industry IDs American food retailers and foodservice operators use standardized systems to eliminate confusion about the names of cuts of meat. IMPS (Institutional Meat Purchase Specifications) and NAMP (North American Meat Processors) numbers, which are the same, typically are used by foodservice operators (including restaurants) when purchasing wholesale beef from meat processors. At retail, stores use UPC codes (Universal Product or “bar” Codes) that align with URMIS (Uniform Retail Meat Identity Standards) to consistently categorize and identify cuts.
