Meat tenderizer powder is a pantry staple for anyone who wants to create mouthwatering, savory meat dishes. Featuring a premium blend of enzymes and spices, including paprika, onion, garlic and salt, McCormick Culinary Seasoned Meat Tenderizer is a culinary must for tender, juicy meat. Meat tenderizer powder will provide all the flavor you're looking for to create flavorful, fall-off-the-bone dishes. The seasoning works exceptionally well with pork, beef and poultry. You can also use it to add an extra kick to salads and fresh vegetables. For best results on your meat products: 1. Moisten the surface of the meat with water just before cooking. A quick rinse will do. 2. Apply the seasoning to both sides of your slab, sprinkling on 1 teaspoon of tenderizer per 1 pound of meat. 3. Puncture meat with a fork at 1/2-inch intervals and cook right away. 4. If you want to prepare a thicker cut, let it stand for 30 minutes before cooking. Use McCormick beef tenderizer before cooking, never after. It is not recommended to freeze the meat with the seasoned tenderizer already applied, as freezing will not stop the enzyme action. Proteins will become mushy if you leave tenderizer on the meat too long before cooking it.
