Bought a chunk of what i thought was really good meat. Turned out to be chewier than a car tyre...my jaw is still sore from eating a steak yesterday. What else can i use this meat for, or can i soften it up, make it more...shall i say less tyre like? Someone told me to "beat the shit out of it"? I take it that refers to beating it with a hammer or something?

You can brown it then braise it until it falls apart. What cut is it?

Slice it very thinly across the grain (best to do when semi-frozen), then marinate it for stir-fry flavor/style of choice.

What kind of marinade do you like, Sky? I have not tried marinating beef yet.

What cut... never mind... now that it's cooked to death it's a bit late... do you have a dog?

-I'm not so sure it's technically a marinade, but it's a soy=sauce-based one: Soy sauce, chicken broth, honey, ginger, sesame oil, garlic, hot sauce, sesame seeds - something along that line. Othertimes, I might use a zesty/hearty italian dressing and service with noodles, instead of rice for the the former. Then of course, there's always the fajita-style marinade to serve with condiments of choice and tortilla wraps.

P.S. With a beef round- or top-steak, I don't think the 'grain' actually matters?

Already cooked? Grind it up (or use the food processor to chop it). Set it aside while you sauté some onions. Then add the chopped cooked meat, add some broth or gravy to make it moist. Good in crepes, wraps, pita bread. Add seasonings as you like.
There are many other variations by adding different ingredients. Tomato sauce, sour cream, cheese, etc.
