Oops! You burnt the meat! Well, the biggest problem with burnt meat is the dryness, so by adding moisture, it may be salvageable. Scrape off the burnt spots and try some of these tips:

1. Trim off the burned outer layer and discard it.

2. Cut the dry interior meat into thin slices.

3. Put the pieces in a casserole dish with some beef broth and your favorite salsa. There’s your moisture.

4. Stir in some pinto or black beans from a can and, if you like, some canned or frozen corn kernels and some chopped onion. Let it sit for a few minutes. Warm the mixture on the stovetop. Grate a thick layer of hard cheese on top. Put the whole thing, uncovered, in the oven long enough to melt the cheese. Serve with warm tortillas or tortilla chips.

5. Here’s another solution for burned meat: After you’ve trim off the charred outer layer, shred the dry interior meat with a fork or your fingers. (It should shred easily in the state it’s in.) Stir the meat into a cup or two of barbecue sauce, canned gravy, or real gravy made by mixing flour with the roast’s drippings. Then warm the dish on the stove for five minutes. Pour it over potatoes or biscuits.

Hopefully this helps you solve the problem! Add your tips in the comments!
