>Grass-fed beef is tough stuff. I don't care for grass-fed but that's the direction the cattle industry is going and I suppose it is more sustainable. Some nice sandwiches can be made using a tough cut of meat but using grass-fed is just making it tough on yourself. You can make a pretty good sandwich using sous vide and a cross rib roast. I don't bother to sear it. The marinade is made with dark soy sauce which works fine in sandwiches.

the package specifically said "sous vide". Because of that I expected
the meat to be tender.
