It's going to be that other country fried steak and
gravy that I cooked Wednesday night for my dinner.
I must say it was super tender last night and that's
due to that hour long  l o w  simmer.  The rest of
the lima beans will be finished off and mashed
potatoes with some gravy resting on top.

Your leftover dinner sounds good to me.  You and I, we cook it the same
way, simmered in the gravy so it's very tender.  It's not like cooking
fried chicken and spooning some white gravy on the top. :)

If country fried steak and gravy is not simmered on a verrry
low burner for about an hour, that meat is only fit to resole
shoes.  Hahahaaaa!  I do appreciate that it's been tenderized
at the store, but it will need more than a bunch of holes
poked in it to make it plate worthy.
 

I am under the impression restaurants that make battered, crisp fried CFS topped with gravy are using pressure fryers.  I know of no way to make tenderized round steak/cubed steak tender in just a few minutes.
