I dunno about denature, but longer cooks do affect a steak for sure, even if they're lean. From Serious Eats (https://www.seriouseats.com/2015/06/food-lab-complete-guide-to-sous-vide-steak.html)



I can see how a change in texture like that would make someone call it more tender.

longer cooks definitely have effects, but you really need to consider the cut of meat, which species it is from and if it is aged or not. some meats will get really stringy and some will become tender but no longer juicy.

ex:

quote:

For beef, the longissimus muscle tenderised less than tougher muscles (semitendinosus, semimembranosus, biceps femoris and/or rectus femoris) after 4 h of holding at 60 °C, as measured by sensory panels and Warner-Bratzler shear force (Dinardo et al., 1984; Laakkonen, Wellington, & Sherbon, 1970; Machlik & Draudt, 1963). Increasing the holding time from 5 to 17h did not change the shear force values of semitendinosus from slaughter pigs at any temperature between 48 °C and 63 °C, whereas longissimus tenderised in treatments at 58 °C and 63 °C with extended holding.

this is from an excellent review on low temperature long term cooking published in j. meatsci that discusses eating quality (tenderness, juiciness, colour and flavour), physical and chemical changes (structural changes, proteins etc) . If you don't have access and want to read it, PM me and I can help you out.
