Freezing does create some additional tenderness in the meat, not as much as the quality of the meat, but it does provide some. When the juices freeze they expand and, when thawed, degrade the cell structure to some point allowing for the transfer of fluids throughout the meat.
This is my limited knowledge so if I am wrong please correct me on this one. Thank you
