You told how to make steak more flavorful - but not how to tenderize
it.

If the OP can get his/her hands of Adolph's meat tenderizer or
something else with papain in it - that's the way to tenderize tough
meat. Of course, the best way is to start off with a piece of meat
that's not tough. Tough meat should *not* be expected to end up like
tender meat, 'cause it just ain't gonna happen. Shoe leather is shoe
leather. Even if you beat it into submission, it's still shoe leather
- although it might not take as much chewing to swallow it without
choking to death.
