Wow guys. Stop hating... At least she's in the kitchen.

[unusualcatperson]

Or... You could just cut against the grain like you're supposed to and it will break the fibers, that way you don't lose all of the juices during cooking.

In winter I can do the same thing with my studded tires, and the best part is the road salt seasons the meat for you, just add pepper.

why do you want to tenderize a tender piece of meat cut? that is a technique applied most likely to poor quality meat to "tenderize" it. Other choice is to brine , as the friend mentioned or even better just cut the meat in thin cutlets and marinate using the "velveting" method. Of course, in both cases not for the skirt steak.

[mugflub]

@osoplus Skirt steak is NOT a naturally tender cut of meat. It's one of the tougher cuts.

[osoplus]

@mugflub my friend, Skirt is a piece of muscle which HANGS from the cow's belly, which means that that muscle hardly ever is in motion, being this the reason why a muscle get hard and tough: motion. Of course, tenderness is related to the kind of food the animal had before butchered, and the age.

[blargenthrop]

@osoplus

Ummm, skirt steak is usually prized for its flavor rather than its tenderness because it ISN'T a naturally tender cut :P Considering "outside' skirt steak is actually a diaphragm muscle, it doesn't just "hang" without use XD

[osoplus]

@mugflub too bad we disagree, but I guess this is exactly these forum are open for: Discussion. Still disagree, the skirt steak I buy and fabricate the cuts myself, do not need tenderizing. They are not the most tender as a fillet, but not tough piece of meat for sure. On the other hand, value of this piece of meat is from its flavor and tenderness (great for the grill)

[TheEdumacator]

@osoplus Hey I agree with you. Anyone that says skirt steak is a tough cut must not know what skirt steak it. I make it all the time and it is never tough. Anyway this method sucks for tenderizing meat. Buy a jaccard meat tenderizer. 48 blades of quick tenderization. Even meats that don't need tenderizing will absorb marinades better. Beating your meat (pun intended) flattens out the steak. Jaccard all the way. ( no I don't work for them or anything).

[mermaidstar7]

can you do this with pretty much any meat. LIke beef, pig, but chicken, and fish? We don't eat goat and lamb though

[osoplus]

@mermaidstar7 There is a basic principle for handling meat: know the nature of it and you will know what to do with it. It is not about the meat, it is about the cut (type) or which part that piece comes from in the animal. Most tender meat come from the part of the animal which does not move much (butt, loin, belly, inside ribcage) but those cuts close or by legs, neck, chest, are tough and the proper cooking method is low heat with the presence of moist (Stew, braise)

[mikester695]

Good tip.

I soak my skirt steak in brine for two days and make Swiss Steak with it.

[tavolo22]

pobre fajita. que te hizo a ti?

[googo151]

You know she's chuckling at the end of the vid, 'cause she realizes what she's saying is so gonna be taken out of context. LOL! She can tenderize my meat any day. Oh wait someone already said that.

[ScrewAttackChina]

tenderizing makes your meat more tender... holy shit, Einstein, who would've thought?

[kaZu71294]

you look bloody disgusting with your meat

[AdamPantola]

LOL.....nice
