Simplify Your Kitchen Time with These Easy Food Hacks

If you tenderize your meat before you marinade it, it helps the meat to absorb the flavor better. As a result, it becomes juicier and easier to tear into as you eat it. Most methods for tenderizing involve puncturing the meat repeatedly putting tiny holes into it to break up the connective meat tissues. It’s a very physical chore.

You can skip the hard labor and let nature do the work for you. Try adding pineapple to your marinade instead! Adding crushed pineapple or fresh pineapple juice to your meat will act as a natural tenderizer and help it absorb the marinade better. And as a bonus, the pineapple adds a sweet tang that makes it even tastier.
