My favorite way to cook steak, especially cheap cuts which always seem tough and gristly to me, is to lay down a layer of red tomatoes on some foil, add some garlic and a little oil, place the steak on top of that, close the foil, and cook it on a charcoal grill until the smell makes me hungry enough to eat it. The water from the tomato juice boils in the foil and keeps the steak from overcooking, and the acidity breaks down the gristle in the meat. It comes out like a tender pot roast.
