Answers:
I can take a cheap and tough cut of meat and cook it so it comes out tender!. I can take a good and expensive cut of meat and turn it into shoe leather!. There's so many things to take into account!. If I have a roast, I let it come up to room temp on the counter before cooking!. I also let meat "rest" for about 15-20 minutes before serving!. It gives it time to settle so that when it's sliced, or cut into, all the juices don't drain out from the meat leaving it dry!. It's a matter of knowing what cut of meat needs to be cooked in which manner for the best and most tender results!. As for the "Chef," he is a pompous one IMO!. You don't see him eating cheap now do you!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

it depends on so many things!. For example, when cooking steak, you should remove it from the fridge at least 30mins before cooking to let it relax!. Obviously some cuts are far more tender than cheaper cuts!. Marinating, method of cooking and yes, overcooked meat is tougher!. The trick is to keep everything succulent!. That can be done by basting or cooking at the right temperature!. Always try and cook meat slowly and for a longer time!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Its either over cooked, bad quality, or a combo of bothWww@FoodAQ@Com

over cooked and not tenderized!. Some cuts of meat need to cook on low heat to render the meat tender, like pork ribs!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
