What spindles said, cook less, not more. Almost any kind of beef needs no more than 5 minutes under a broiler or in a pan. High heat. This is for one serving, not roasts.

Don't boil it. You might be successful poaching it in beef broth, but I wouldn't. Beef belongs in the broiler or the saute pan.

I found some great cuts at a farmer's co-op. It cost all of $3.
