Thread: Tough Backstrap - help...

Can depend on where the steak was cut from too. Ie to far down towards the neck and your in chuck or stewing territory. Could be high ph or old animal. As for aging it can be done after freezing. Pull it out of the freezer and put it in the fridge all meat should be defrosted this way leave for a few extra days before use. Soak it in ginger ale or coca cola works so does a sprinkling of baking soda
