How do you tenderize beef steak? - 10/15/21 04:57 PM
Here is a question for the THF cooking experts. When I was a kid my mother bought round steak to feed the family. She'd make Swiss steak & stew-it tender. Dad wasn't much of a cook but when he made BBQ it was a chuck roast grilled over oak & slathered with Kraft BBQ sauce lastly. It tasted good but tough as a boot. I don't think mom or dad ever bought a ribeye, fillet or other prime steak. My large family didn't know the difference & we ate well. Seems like all of our venison was chicken fried & it was our favorite meal. Always ate up in a hurry.
Everyone has seen the prices of meat lately - YIKES! My question, is there a secret method or marinade to make a tough cut of meat tender? I'm not talking about fajitas or beating a piece of meat with a hammer until its pre-chewed. It seem like I read something about brinning or dry salt brinning. I also heard of folks aging meat in the frig for a week. What about Adolph's meat tenderizer? I'm tempted to get an HEB shoulder roast that's on sale & experiment to see if I can make it baby-teeth eatable. Any thoughts?
TIA
