What is meant by green meat?

It means meat that has spoiled and is not fit to eat. It can also refer to meat that is too fresh. When an animal is slaughtered the carcass stiffens and undergoes a process called "rigor mortis." If the meat is frozen at this point it is called "green meat" and can be tough and a bit flavorless. If you wait to freeze the meat (but still keep the carcass cold, just not frozen) till after rigor mortis has passed a few days later your meat has a much better quality.


What part of the animal does tough meat come from?

Some cuts of meat are tough because they come from an area of muscle that works hard, or they have a lot of connective tissue in them. Tough cuts of meat are best cooked in a slow moist way, such as a stew, because this gives the fibres time to absorb moisture, soften and break down. Meat from more tender cuts can become tough if overcooked, dried out, or if not given a few minutes in a warm location to relax and let the juices redistribute after cooking.

Can milk tenderize beef?

Yes. Milk is acidic and can break down tough meat. I use buttermilk, don't worry you won't taste it. Buttermilk is more acidic than regularmilk which is why it tastes bad but is better for marinating.
