Lean cuts of meat can be notoriously tough.  Here is a quick and clean meat marinade that works well, and can be used on beef, veal, pork, chicken, turkey - anything:


1/4 c rice vinegar
1/4 c lime juice
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp hot sauce
4-5 drops of liquid smoke
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1 tbsp Montreal steak spice (less if cutting sodium)
OPTIONAL:  2 tbsp olive oil

Combine all and pour over meat.  Cover and refrigerate at least an hour (overnight if possible - the longer the better).  Cook as desired.
