– This is a budget friendly recipe. Using a tougher, less expensive cut of meat is perfect for braising steak since it will become fall apart tender. – We love a prep and forget recipe! It only needs a quick prep and let it simmer away!

Mock petite steaks look like filet mignon but they are a shoulder cut of beef. They are also known as shoulder petite tender, tender medallions, chuck tender steak and petite filets. While they may look like filet mignon, they are not nearly as tender a cut. They are best for marinating or braising. If you can't find mock petite beef steak, you can buy a chuck roast and cut it into 3 inch pieces.
