How to Tenderize Cheaper Cuts of Steak

The exact cost of cheaper cuts of meat depend on the store.

Regardless of the type of steak, it tastes better and is easier to eat when it's tender. Generally, the less you pay for a cut of meat, the tougher it is. By adding moisture to the meat, you can tenderize it. In addition, using liquid when the steak is cooking also keeps the meat from drying out. You can use any type of meat marinade you want to flavor the steak.

Things You'll Need

• Bowl or pan
• Marinade
• Basting brush

Instructions

1. Place the cheaper cuts of steak in a bowl or pan.

2. Pour marinade onto the meat. Pour enough liquid to cover the top of the meat. Put the dish in the refrigerator for four to six hours. The liquid marinade will soak into the meat.

3. Cook the meat. Pour out the marinade. Pour unused marinade into a fresh, clean bowl, about a cup per steak. During the cooking process, dip the basting brush into the marinade in the bowl and spread it over the meat itself. Eat the meat after it's done cooking.
