Favorite Steak dish: do what I mentioned above, tenderize with tenderizing hammer etc. dip in flour and pan fry to brown. Then put it in cake like pan with campbells beefy mushroom soup and a few sliced onions then bake for about an hour. You can cut it with a fork and it is absolutely awesome with some fried potatoes. If they won't eat that, buy beef.
I believe this is the trick. The last few years I've spent extra time washing off as much blood as possible from the meat before I cook it. Even soaking it in water like Cody said. Man I'm tellin ya it makes a big difference. I started doing this after a butcher explained to me that the blood is what makes it taste "gamey". He was right! [/b]
Goes right along with my previous post about the blood drain and oxygen. I think both are the perfect pre-cooking solution. Tried the beefy mushroom soup thing too...MMMMMM!
