You need to buy different cuts of beef, basically, the more expensive cuts are more tender. Also, marinating the steaks will help a lot. Tenderloinds, filet mignon is the most tender pieces, it's not as juicy and flavorful as say, flank steak, though, but it's much less tough.

Lndsbgrd agrees: thanks alot! Happy holidays!!
tickle disagrees: filet mignon (the most expensive and best cut of beef) and tenderloin are the two of the most expensive, aside from prime rib. All three are best in flavour and tenderness.

You can try pounding the beef with a meat mallet, cook rapidly with high heat or use a cooking bag, another way, is to marinate the meat for 8-24 hrs, covered in the fridge, using this marinade, I use it for beef and pork;
1 cup, olive oil
1/4 c soy sauce
3 tbsp dijon mustard
1/4 c worcestershire sauce
1/4 c lemon juice
3 tbsp honey
2-3 tbsp blackpepper
2-3 tbsp minced garlic, or powder
2-3 tbsp onion powder or salt
Mix all togethere and pour over meat, cover and refrigerate for 8-24 hrs.
