Can You Make Already Cooked Steak More Tender?
It is difficult to make already cooked steak more tender as cooking can cause the proteins in the meat to become more firm. One possible solution is to use a meat mallet to pound the steak to break down the fibers and make it more tender. This may result in the steak being thinner, so it is important to be careful not to overdo it. Another option is to marinate the cooked steak in an acidic marinade, such as lemon or vinegar, which can help to break down the proteins and make it more tender. However, it is important not to marinate the steak for too long as this can result in an undesirable texture.
