pressure cooker for 15-20 min

Use a 60/40 mix of ground beef and beef liver you pasted on the board. Feel free to add finely cut fresh rosemary or something that works with liver. More delicious, more juicy, and in some areas cheaper/lb but ymmv.

Slow cook that shit in a pot with a ton of onions, vegs and spices

Use them for stews, braising, pot roasts, etc

You slow cook them until they become tender.

Put Saran Wrap on top of it and beat the shit out of it with a meat tenderizer

Just know your cuts and how to cook them. There are braising cuts, and they will need a slow moist roast, and then there things that can be flash fried without being tough. Don't try to morph the wrong thing into a different recipe.
Also, keep in mind you can crisp or reheat the braised or roasted cuts, and it's traditionally done that way in a lot of cuisines. Twice cooked thai pork, sliced roast pork on top of soup, cuban vaca frita or masas de puerco, and mexicans putting carne asada or achiote braised meat, carnitas, just put into tamales or inside enchiladas or tucked into torta sandwiches. Chop it up and saute for taco filling, whatever. Plan ahead, in other words. If you can't plan ahead, you'll have a pressure cooker.
Yes, you can debone meat, slice and pound it thinner. Cubed steak is cheap round. It's delicious dedged in seasoned flour. You can roast whole flank steak, cut very thin across the grain.

I just buy what I need. There's a nice

Add baking soda, let it sit for about half an hour.

You'll want to wash off the baking soda before cooking. Rinse several times, maybe add a splash of vinegar to make sour you got it all. No joke.
