Slow cook it, oven or crockpot, until it becomes tender at about 185
degrees. There will be a lot of fat rendered so do check the pan. Great as
bbq too. It is a tough hunk of meat so the collagen needs to break down and
that takes time. Once done, it is very tender and tasty.
Makes good hamburgers when ground too.
