iI found if yyouyou wish to tenderize cheap tough meat, gravy beef before you cube it, lay first layer in bowelbowl, cover in lots of salt, place next layer anand so on till all is covered then. Then leave for an hour, pull out meat anand thoroughly rinserinse off all salt cube. Cube it anand crock pot the stuff in a thick gravey sause yougravy sauce. You will be pleasantly surprised how tender cheap cuts can be gdgood for bbqBBQ as well.
