The more expensive cuts of tender meat require very little cooking and can be fried, grilled or broiled to develop a rich flavor. The tough cuts of meat are juicier and contain excellent food value but must be cooked more slowly. Slow cooking in water softens the fibers and dissolves the connective tissues, making the meat tender. Tough meat should be cooked by simmering, stewing, steaming or pressure cooking.
