How do you tenderize roast beef after it has been cooked?

Answer 1

For one answer, see http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Can_you_tenderize_meat_with_buttermilk "Buttermilk does tenderize meat -- [the respondent uses] buttermilk to tenderize: boneless skinless chicken breast, and boneless pork loin chops. Soak for about an hour or so. If you soak fish fillets like cod or snapper, it gets rid of all the "fishy" flavor. "IN ADDITION: The lactic acid in buttermilk dissolves proteins in the same way monosodium glutimate (MSG) does. It makes the meat break down without the rotting process."

Answer 2

Um, you're supposed to tenderize it BEFORE you cook it... Not after.

Assuming you started with a sirloin tip roast,which should be tender with normal roasting,I can sympathize. I cooked a sirloin tip roast,and it was not the most tender meat I have experienced,and some roasts have turned out extremely tender. Okay,what I would do would be put it in a slow cooker for a few hours with some broth.I know that works.I was paranoid about eating a pork roast,because the juices were pinkish when I roasted it,so I dropped it in the slow cooker,and several hours later,it was mouth-wateringly tender.

If it is tough and overcooked? Usually when you cook pork it gets more tender as you cook it longer. IF you cooked it and dried it out with no moisture then you will either need to put it back in with a sauce such as barbecue or you could use chicken stock or water and cook it in a pan covered tightly with foil. Cook at 300 degrees for about an hour and check again. If it's still tough cook it another hour but make sure that there is plenty of liquid while you cook it longer. It should start to break down and get tender with that method. It could also be done in a crock pot for a few hours on low or with a pressure cooker on 15 pounds pressure for 25 minutes should be enough. Since I don't know the cut or how the pork was cooked originally his is the best I can tell you. I hope it helps.
