Silverside!!!!

I only usually eat steak (Rib eye or fillet) as i like it extremley rare, if doing a roast i get topside with as much marbling as possible.

Picked up Silverside by mistake and it was huge and only me and dd so cut in half and bunged one half in freezer.

It was inedible!! i cooked it a little more than i usually would becuase it was silverside, so it was medium rare (more rare though) and it was just tough as old boots!!!

Is there anything i can do to salvage other half, like marinading overnight to tenderise and if so what would i marinade in? My mum does this gorgeous marinade with soy and some sort of brandy or whiskey but thats with a huge fillet so melts in mouth.

I dont want to slow cook and have it welldone and me and dd literally only like it rare, so otherwise will just give to neighbour to use.

Thanks in advance

I think silverside does need long slow cooking like in a pot roast and would not be nice rare.

Slice/dice thin and make stir fry? Lots of.
Vietnamese noodle soup Pho - slice veeeery thin and submerge in your hot steaming lovely soup. Eat. Etc.
