Tenderizer Question

[Sack1971]

Before preparing jerky to be marinated, do you use McCormicks non seasoned meat tenderizer or a mallet?

 

[Steve H]

I don't use tenderizer. Or a mallet. I have on occasion. Jaccarded the meat before slicing.

 

[Brokenhandle]

Don't do either... just slice and marinate.

I've used a flat weighted style tenderizer, but mainly it's to give jerky a more rustic look, or to even out some thicker slices. For tenderness, slicing against the grain will be a softer chew than slicing with the grain. A nice twist, and a better value pricewise is making jerky from pork loin.

And venison if you hunt or have the opportunity to do so.
