You’ve heard that you should slice steak against the grain, but does it really work? Check out this interesting test that shows how to tenderize cheap beef and save cash!

America’s Test Kitchen examines the science behind slicing different cuts with the grain versus against the grain and they deliver some pretty compelling results. If you follow their slicing advice, you can save tons of money on your beef purchases and still serve a tender meal!
