Tenderizing and marinading are steps that are taken to improve the chewability and flavor of the cheaper cuts of meat. In order to to avoid the possibility of serving and eating meat that is tough, and hard to chew, it is tenderized. Meat is also sliced across the grain before it is served, making the muscle fibers shorter and less stringy and therefore, easier to chew with a greater sensation of tenderness. Natural tenderness and better flavor are why higher prices are charged for the better cuts of meat.
