Wonder Tip#4 To tenderize meats

To tenderize/soften tough meats like lamb, beef,Pork , marinate them in any of the following overnight and store it in a glass , plastic bowls or plastic bags that can be sealed in to the refrigerator.However,when marinating in a straight acid liquid (say apple cider vinegar, wine or lemon juice ), meat shouldn’t be allowed to marinate for longer than two hours since the acidity will then begin to toughen it (Credit:Tipnut.com). Always rinse off the marinade and then cook.

Add a tablespoon or two of any one of the following into every cup of marinade :
  1. Red wine
  2. Citrus juices - Lemon,Lime,Pineapple
  3. Any Vinegar
  4. Salt (cover with salt for 1 hour before cooking)
