How to fix tough meat in a curry or stew

Have you ever cooked a meat curry or stew and found the meat to be too tough in the end? Maybe you chose a poorer quality meat or you messed something up during the cook?

Well never fear, a fix is near:)

While cooking this Durban beef curry, I realized the meat I chose from Costco was less than awesome and my curry turned out tough. So here I show you how you can 'fix it in the mix,' as we say in the music world.

It's simple. Remove all the beef (or whatever meat) piece by piece and place it in a pyrex or oven friendly dish. Then cover with tin foil and put it in a convection oven on bake at 300f for a few hours - well, you'll see how many:) Then add it back to your curry or stew and hey presto - a beautifully tender meat awaits you.

It really will save you face and rescue your poor tough curry or stew.

300 or 350 C? That doesn't seem like very low heat?!

Another method you can use pressure cooker.

How long was it cooked the first time? I cooked my stew in the crockpot on low for 6 hours and it is tough and chewy. Will cooking it longer using this method work for mine ? I’m ready to throw the whole pot away

Hello. I have a tough beef curry I’m wanting to fix. But I don’t have an oven. Would the slow cooker on high work as a substitute?
