Do you like a good cut of beef but hate paying the price? Petite Shoulder is one of the most tender beef muscles and is said to be “white-tablecloth quality”. It is a similar quality to filet mignon, but less expensive and I think it tastes better. It is known as petite tender medallion, petite tender or tender medallions if sliced into medallions. It is shaped like a pork tenderloin, and weighs 8 to 10 ounces. You should check at your local grocery to see if they carry petite shoulder. I do marinate it for about thirty minutes but that is a small price to pay for the taste and tenderness. This Beef Petite Shoulder with Pan Gravy is by far one of my favorite recipes!
Not only is it one of my favorite recipes but it is so darn easy. The marinade takes about three minutes to mix and the pan gravy about five minutes. You can serve it with mashed potatoes, rice or egg noodles or anything that tastes good with gravy on it! The gravy requires no wine or spirits so it is easy on the pocket book as well.
So put this Beef Petite Shoulder with Pan Gravy on your dinner list. It is so tender, juicy and flavorful. It is quick to make and easy on the pocket book. How could you ask for much better than that? No I don’t provide home delivery :-)!!

What kind of grill are you cooking this on? Sounds good, but I’m a little confused as to the cooking method.
Sorry about the delay. I injured my hand on Friday so I am moving a little slow. I use a gas barbecue grill. A charcoal barbecue grill would work as well. Please let me know if you have more questions and I will do my best to answer them.
Thank you for this excellent idea, the pan gravy was delicious. That’s what I call real comfort food 🙂
You are most welcome. So glad that you liked it!!
I was wondering if I was to cook this in the oven what do you think the temp and time should be?
Thanks, Jenn
I would cook 425 degrees for about 20 minutes. 25 minutes if you want it well done
Can i pan sear it as well
Yes you most certainly can.
