Whats the best way to get tender (not hard) beef without a 24 hour marinade?

Hey I just got a big pile of stew meat from Costco and have plenty left after making beef stew yesterday. Any tips for cool things besides just stew I could make with it? I've got all this cream cheese too so I wonder if I can make a really nice cheese sauce, idk. Any ideas?

I was recently gifted with some pretty expensive roast. There's a price tag on it for 12 bucks and I have 2 of them. I want to do something special with it but the only thing I know to make with beef is stew and ordinary grilling. What should I do with them?

No not that stuff, I mean a roast or stew meat.

I've been a vegetarian/vegan for about five years, and just recently started eating meat and animal products again. I had to give up vegetarianism due to multiple health problems, such as an incredibly weak immune system, fatique, hair loss etc. It seems like at least MY body couldn't absorb all the required nutrients from plant based foods or supplements. For example my thinning hair started to regrow as soon as I started eating meat again and now I have more hair than probably ever before.

I've been eating meat for about two to three months now, and I've started to experience constant pain in my bones and muscles. It's almost as if I'd have growing pains. Do you have an explanation for these symptoms? It's starting to feel quite disturbing. Could it be possible that I'm still growing? I stopped growing around the age of 17-18, and that's also when I turned vegetarian. Could it be that the vegetarian diet was so bad for me, that it stopped me from reaching my full height potential, and now that I'm eating right I've started to grow again? I've heard that men can grow till their mid twenties. I'm 23 now and standing at 198cm/6'6 though, but these mysterious pains feel exactly like growing pains.
