Doesn't make sense! Have you buried it towards the bottom, so it's surrounded by beans, potatoes etc? Don't put it as the bottom layer, it might burn. Lots of liquid? Failing that, change your butcher. Did you ask him what cut of meat it is?

I agree with Bubby.
It should be getting really soft in the cholent, even if it's very tough meat like kolichel (which I actually love in the cholent.)
What's your cholent cooking method? Stovetop? Crockpot? Cooked before Shabbos? Simmers on Shabbos?

Ditto to ra_mom and bubby. Bury that meat reallllly deep. I love kolichel too, that's the only meat I use in the cholent. Also, it will help if you put it in frozen as it won't dry out as fast.

Which meat do you use? A fatty meat should get softer than a drier meat.

It sounds to me as if you don't put enough liquid in the pot. I've used really cheap cuts of meat in the cholent and they become really soft. My crockpot has liquid up to the top when I turn it to low just before Shabbos. I suggest you check the liquid level in your pot and add more liquid if necessary before Shabbos.

I also realized that if the meat is defrosted be4 putting it into the cholent its softer than if its put in when frozen. so you might wanna try that as well.
good luck
