tender meat
Easy to chew
Tender meat is flesh that yields easily to cutting and chewing, the opposite of tough.
Tenderness comes from the cut, the animal's age, and preparation methods like marinating or slow cooking.
The beef was so tender it fell off the bone.
By extension, any meat described as tender emphasizes its quality and palatability.
