How Do You Tenderize Meat

First off you pick a good cut. Then you poke it with a fork and add your seasoning. Pounding some people do and that is supposed to make it tender. i use a mixture of pepper and garlic. Adding a marinate can help also. Let it stand in the marinate in the fridge for as long as possible before cooking is a good idea.

It depends on the cut of meat, but if you want to tenderize a roast, the cheapest and simplest way is to pour a little apple cider vinegar over it before you put salt and pepper or other spices on it. Vinegar breaks down the part that holds the muscle together as well as helps release calcium from the bone, so the roast will be healthier as well as more tender. You won't be able to taste the vinegar at all. Cook meat with liquid whenever you can, instead of frying or roasting dry. Liquid of any kind will help tenderize it.

Young pork/meat does not seem to need tenderizing so maybe you can opt for those. I'm no expert in cooking. I basically just eat what's served. Or you could go for a really good pressure cooker.

I tenderize the meat by marinating it in a little salt and vinegar and then cooking it in high fire until it boils. Then i lower down the fire and let it boil until it softens. But if despite that, it's still hard to chew, i would pressure cook it, for about 20 minutes if its a pork and 30 minutes if it's beef.

You got to marinate it with curd,salt,turmeric,masala powder(if required),red chilli powder for about half an hour before cooking so that all these juices penetrate into the meat and then cook it on a medium flame so that it tastes yummy and smells too good.Not only that it also becomes tender on marinating and slow cooking,,, give it a try.If u want it even more tender then cook it in an electric cooker instead of a pan.

Whenever you are trying to cook meat before giving it a wash just add some good amount of salt over it leave it for atleast 15-20 minutes..then give it a good wash..I allwaz follow this method. Second would be using vinegar or lemon juice for 10-15 minutes and thyen wash it generously.. it also works good for me..

I know that pounding them out helps alot for breaking down the marbling etc....Like I said before it's been a long time since I marinated anything but that also helped.

I buy cheaper cuts of meat, so it is important to tenderize them. When I do, I just cook them really slowly in a low degree oven… like 300 degrees for about 3 hours. Sometimes I also soak the meat overnight in Italian salad dressing. I sometimes cook meat in a crock pot.
