Tough Steaks?

I get a half of beef from a friend once a year for the last 10 or so years. The last one I got the Tbones and ribeyes are tough. I've used my Jaccard tenderizer on them and they are better but still not good. I've also tried meat tenderizer but it is way to salty. Anyone have any suggestions?

Turn it into ground beef?
Had a similar experience few decades ago, the whole 1/2 was from the same steer, it did not I’m sorry to say get better. Since then I’ve watched sales or buy butcher boxes where the cuts come from different animals. If I get a chewy steak every now and then it is over right after that meal.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad! -

Anyone have any suggestions?What worked for me was just Jaccard them over and over front and back and again and again! I know that might sound unnecessary to many eggers here, but the effort was worth it...but I don’t want to ever buy tough as nails beef again!Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.
