In Indonesia we usually have problem with hard and tough meat, especially beef and mutton. Mostly it is blcaused by the age of the animals. Older the animal, harder and tougher the meat.
To solve problem, we use fresh papaya leave to wrap the meat in 15-30 minutes. That treatment is able to make the meat soft and tender effectively.

That's a good tip! We use grapefruit leaves for hard meat.
