Yay food science!
On more of a cooking advice, I like to by flat steak, cut into strips place into a crock pot with onions and bell peppers, some low sodium beef or vegetable broth. This plus some spices make for a great start of a beef sandwich, we make ours philly style.

u mean cooking lean beef will inevitably lead to tough meat? Why do they even sell lean meat?
And how do i know when is the beef is done and not overcooked?
Thankss.
