Try a different cut?

 

Beat the hell out of it?

 

Age it?

 

Soak in Xaosing Chinese rice wine.

 

Someone mentioned using slices of papaya to tenderise?

 

Failing all that try the food forum.

The local Thais up my way use Baking Soda (bicarbonate of soda). Ugh.  I'd actually prefer an fruit acid/enzyme tenderizer.

 

But, as already mentioned: Pound it, Marinate with acid, Marinate with enzymes, Salt it, Slice it right, Slow-cook it (crockpot), Slow-cook it (smoker), etc.

i buy a lot of beef,for pies,stews,my dog, and other.

season the beef and put in a meat dish,with a decent amount of water,onions,celery,carrot.

fully cover with foil.15minutes at 200,then 4hrs.at 150.in a oven.

leave in the fridge overnight if you want to slice it for sandwiches,or eat on the day if having a dinner.

use the stock from the meat to make gravy.

best cut from the market is the FLANK.
