Best Answer

whenever joints of meat are heated past a certain point the fibres contract pushing out moisture and making the joint shrink.

some cheap meat cuts have water and nasty stuff injected into them to bulk them out to appear better to customers. this will be lost during cooking making the cut appear to shrink even more.
