Have you ever cooked beef that turned out tough and then used a slow cooker to have the meat as left over? Did it tenderize it at all?

Yes, I have taken tough roast beef, put it in the pressure cooker to cook for 5-10 minutes with onions, potatoes, and beef broth, and got more tender meat for beef stew.

I'd chop it up in my Vitamix or a food processor, mix with a little mayo and some chili sauce and use it as a sandwich spread.

It's the cut of beef that makes it either become tougher or more tender with increased cooking time.
If it's a cut that only gets tougher, and its already tough, I wouldn't cook it any more.
I'd shred it or slice it so thinly it doesn't require much chewing.
I did this with tough roast pork.
Wrapped it and put it in the freezer until semi-frozen. Then sliced it soooo thin on a mandolin slicer.
Piled it on a bun with horseradish & BBQ sauce.

I just chop in up and make a version of stroganoff. Use Cream Mushroom, onions, beef broth and pour over rice or noodles.
Or chop finely and heat with BarBQue sauce for chopped beef sandwichs.

@bcherry01 Slow cooker will not help you. You needed to start with a slow cooker if you bought let's say a rump roast.
I agree with the other ladies, how about chopping it up small and making a batch of chili?

I think the damage is done, the crockpot can't change that. I agree with @Kachina624 make sandwich spread.

Just so you all know what the outcome was, I used a slow cooker and cooked on high for about 3 hours and it really tenderized the meat and dinner turned out good.

OH--- I just did that very thing---had a beautiful flap steak--kind of like a flank steak---marinated it over night then put it in my airfryer---OMG---so tough!! thought it was a sirloin---- I sliced it thin and then stir fried it for a bit and ended up with a very nice meal-----need to read the labels a little more carefully!!!

Yes. I add beef broth and a splash of wine, add fresh mushrooms and onions.
