When you bring beef home from the market, package in freezer bags with a couple of Tablespoons full of red wine vinegar BEFORE you store it in the freezer. When thawed discard the vinegar and proceed with your recipe. You will have tender beef for stew or whatever you are cooking up! I do this with stew beef, chuck steaks etc. and usually label the bag with the code RWV.
