meat tenderizer

[Boar]

 whats a good tool for meat tenerizing.

[Jerkbiat]

I have seen people use he side of a plate. Or you can get a meat tenderrizing hammer. Or slow cook in a crockpot That usually makes meat tender too.

I have one of those tools that has 3 rows of thin cutting blade on it.  just place on top of the meat and press down, works well..

your hard head should work!!

Must have some stringy old bear meat again...
A two-sided meat hammer works well. Can use flat side to pound things like flank steaks, chicken, etc, to do wraps with. Nothing like beating yer meat.

You might look at "Jaccard" tenderizers.  They don't mash the meat as much, unless that is what you want.   

Sous Vide is another way.

Could also check out baking soda.  My friend who is a Chinese chef uses it.  Have to be careful about how long you marinate with this stuff.  Experiment with a cheap cut.  Best way is to use a marinade of your favorite kind or google best steak marinades.  There are tools like mentioned above but I'm not into smashed beef unless your making chicken fried steak [usually run through a cuber].  I use my Korean Kalbi marinade.  I usually do it overnight.  I know  most recipes say 2 to 4 hours.  This does not do the job for me.  good luck.

baking soda, interesting.... 

[Rebel SS]

baking soda, interesting.... 

Huh! I agree! Never heard that....

[mike89]

I just looked it up and you sure don't use very much or for very long...  interesting for sure...

One of my pet peeve is rubbery, chewy browned ground beef. It just ruins whatever you put it in.
I searched the internet looking for a solution, and one of them was to add baking soda. I only tried it once, and it did seem to help. I’m not totally convinced.
