Generally speaking, the cheaper the cut the tougher the meat and the longer it should be cooked for. Taking beef, for example: fillet steak is extremely tender and should be grilled for as short a time as suits your preference, whereas stewing steak is not at all tender and so is best cooked in a casserole at low heat for several hours.
I guess it is something to do with the properties of the meat fibres and the way they soften, or even break down, when cooked.
