3 Ways to Get your “Meat” Tender!

1. Infuse Flavour Baby and Marinate!

Infuse the flavor! Use Acidic tenderizers. Acidic ingredients allow the proteins to break down! Great ingredients include lemon juice, vinegar, buttermilk, yogurt! Set it in for 30 minutes to 2 hours! Personally, I like to use lemon juice and maybe a little wine (;

2. Let’s Get Physical: Tenderize the Meat

Pound lightly but don’t let it run to mush!!! You can use a hammer or even a skillet. There are different methods but, this is the easiest way!

3. Salt Baby

Add that SALT BABY! The salt draws out moisture. When moisture is drawn out it creates a natural brine flavour! YUM!
