The only way I can describe it is like chewing chewing gum, you keep chewing it and don't swollow. Are my teeth not sharp enough? Or am I just a freak? MY JOURNAL

The only drawback is that it's very expensive! My Journal - Captain Fatass returns

you can use meat tenderiser and beat it with a meat hammer before cooking if using a cheaper cut - however i never go less than topside cos its so tough.

Meat tenderiser is high in salt - but the hammer method is very effective if you take your time, and a wooden hammer is just fine as you need to tap and turn not belt the living daylights to get the best results.

soak it in a tin of pineapple chunks with natural juice overnight

then in a very very hot pan sear the meat on both sides for a minute

place in a oven for a few minutes to cook through all the way, leave to rest for a few minutes, Serve with pineapple chunks with BBQ sauce
