Not sure why the need to tenderize?
That's one of the joys of the crockpot, it tenderizes the meat to the max!
Stew is always so good!!!!!! ... and you can add so many other veggies, particularly onions, as desired.
I like peas added for colour ... go "grey" if in there too long, so I just zap in the microwave and add at serving time.
And should there be leftovers ... it makes for a great soup starter!
