Overcooking can make a tender cut of meat less tender. ---- Tenderness is influenced by the portion of the animal that it came from as well as the animal itself-- how it was raised and what it was fed.
For example chuck or shoulder cuts will always be tougher than the tenderloin or rib cuts.
Range fed beef will be tougher than beef that was raised in a feed lot.
Slow moist cooking such as casseroles and stews will make tougher cuts tender -- and tough cuts can have excellent flavor.
For fast hot cooking such as frying or high temperature roasting, set the meat aside to "rest" for 5-10 minutes after cooking and before cutting or serving. This will allow the juices to distribute evenly through the meat and allow the meat fibres to "relax", making the meat more tender.
