Tough, usually.

Stringy comes up, occasionally.

'tough meat' is difficult to chew. 'tough' means, difficult.
'rough meat' has an uneven or bumpy surface. 'rough' means, the surface is not smooth.

EX: I had a tough day. (I had a difficult day)
EX: I had a rough day. (My day did not go smoothly)

All the best,

:) Then ' rough ' can also be an option though :)

To play safe, I would stick to ' tough '

Thanks

If you're eating 'rough' meat, then you gotta pretty 'rough' life. :(

I have never heard of rough meat. One might encounter tough meat every once in a while.

I have to say that it's more of a possibility than a common usage.

Yes. "Rough meat" is a hypothetical, not an actual usage.

I would call meat rough only if it had the hide attached. :wink:

If it's dry and overcooked, the texture is rough.
