cooking tough cuts of meat

[pumba]

Tonight I am making "critter"......actually it is chuck moose steaks from my moose that I got last year.....because of the type of packng the butcher does .....meat is good for two years at least.....so chuck steak is TOUGH.....
I am making a tent out of aluminum foil and then placing the steaks in it and adding the cream of mushroom soup and one container of water and then the lipton onion soup mix.......probably mix it before hand and then pour over the critter......make a tent and then cook on 300 for two or so hours....it will come out so tender

So remember to tent foil tough cuts or put in an oven bag to cook......I could of sworn that I had a bag but can't find it since I cleaned out the cupboards.....

Thanks for posting this. I didn't know this about tough cuts of meat. I just had gastric bypass, and can't digest meat unless it's really tender. I'm doing a flank steak tomorrow, and I will try this trick. Thanks again.

Moose is very lean and so is venison......so the more lean these cuts are the tougher then can be sometimes.....unless cut exactly JUST SO. The taste can differ with each type ......but sort of like a beef but a little more flavor to it....I do use different herbs and spices if the animal is gamey tasting......this works very good......I am a female and I go hunting with my hubby and a group of men......hard to find woman going...our granddaughter who is a junior in high school also hunts when she has the free time during the month of November.

Make sure you cut the flank steak across the grain. If you go with the grain it will be really tough to eat.

Didn't know this either. Wow! I'm learning so much today. I'll cook the flank steak in a bag with the balsamic sauce, and then to serve it I'll cut it across the grain! Thanks so much!
