talked about covering the steak with lime juice and putting it in the fridge for a few hours. I hadn't heard of that before and haven't tried it yet. But I am interested in how it turns out.

If you've never used the salt method to tenderize meat, do it. I took a couple of tough chuck roasts that had been in

Lol. A little more than that. You basically bury the meat in salt. I used more than this, but this gives you the idea.

It's not the holy Grail. Just doesn't need tenderizing, imo. Got a lot of fat
