[quote=Anonymous]I have never had ground beef taste hard and chewy. A hamburger with 90% and above  can be dry but not hard and chewy.

1. For burgers, add Worcester sauce, grated cheese and or minced onions to the ground beef , mix together lightly and form patties. Heat the grill, throw  on grill, flip nice, eat. For meatballs add an extra egg.

2. For chicken, if you are cooking it in the oven brine it overnight in buttermilk.

3. Short ribs and chuck roast, I often find in a slow cooker it takes 2 -3 hours more than the slow cooker recipe to get fork tender.  You can cut chuck pot roast into smaller pieces.

4. Stir fry, cut smaller thinner pieces, marinade for 30 minutes, pat marinate off with a paper towel, oil the wok before heating, once wok is hot throw in meat but do not over crowd. If you dump in the whole bowl and there’s a ton f marinade yu are boiling it not stir frying it and it will be tough. I skip the marinade often and use dry seasoning and then combine the meat, veggies and sauce at the end. [/quote]
