even one better when purchasing your meat you can have the butcher not only cut it down for you but if you want to tenderize it they have a machine called a cuber they can run your meat though (just 1 time otherwise it's almost ground meat). takes him 2 seconds beats beating it 50 times unless you're upset with someone and need to get some frustration out Votes: +8

I marinate flank steak in Italian Salad Dressing. Put the dressing in a zip lock, or large bowl, put meat in (cover bowl with Saran Wrap/Glad Wrap) and let it sit. How long determines...the meat is tenderer when sitting a bit longer. An hour or so. Broil and ALWAYS cut against the grain. Recipe from my mom. I'm 55. It was always delicious and still is, when I make it. Yippie! Votes: +1

Yes! I always go to the butcher. For ground beef, I choose a sirloin and he grinds it right in front of me. He has the most delicious beef and lamb sausages. The look like breakfast suasage links. I like to mix ground beef and lamb, for burgers. The BEST!! Also, for fantastic sauce for pasta - add lamb! You can make meatballs and sear them, then let them cook in the sauce. Your sauce will have a delicious flavor. I BETCHA everyone will be asking what you did and if you want to keep it a secret...... Votes: +1
