SOLUTION - Use VEDAN or AJINOMOTO instead of other source, It softens meat under few mins.

Beat it with hammer before you cook. It works or any part of the meat , and I am not joking.

Lol! This guy is very funny, but yes, the hammer-beating works, too.

Use the spice called "Meat Tenderizer"

Re: Tough Meat. How Do I Make It Soft? by ubiaa5(f): 1:50am On Jan 12, 2010
Use a pressure pot,it will soften the meat and cook in less time too.
Re: Tough Meat. How Do I Make It Soft? by minute(f): 1:50am On Jan 12, 2010
You overcook the meat.

You could try marinating/tenderising the meat first undecided undecided undecided

@ Agaba

What's good??. . . .Happy New year! smiley

Its one of those seasonings that a lil' goes a long way, . . . .so just about half a teaspoon should do the trick, . . . .

but truth be told like every other seasoning, . . . . .it contains a certain amt of MSG, . . . .so moderation is key as well!!
Re: Tough Meat. How Do I Make It Soft? by No2Atheism(m): 2:28am On Jan 12, 2010
@topic

- Wash the meat properly.
- Add onions to the meat.
- Add salt to the meat for taste.
- Make sure you do not add any water . . . that water would be supplied by the meat itself.
- Then boil everything with moderate amount of heat . . .
- Hopefully this should solve the problem.

Re: Tough Meat. How Do I Make It Soft? by maedan(f): 2:38am On Jan 12, 2010
Hmmm; tough meat = bad meat. I guess. But on a serious tip, dropping in some alum (kaun) usually does the trick.
Re: Tough Meat. How Do I Make It Soft? by lastpage: 3:42am On Jan 12, 2010
Please, what is this "Tenderizer" they are talking about?
Is it a hair relaxer or wetin?

The only thing l know that can over-power any meat in Potash (kaun).
I've seen my uncle use it on the most stubborn He-goat in our village and he tender no be small, at last! grin
That useless HE-goat is so stubborn it will turn back and abuse your mother, if you dare attempt to correct its misbehavior, and afterwards, it will go to the clothes-line and eat your best cloth! grin grin God bless my Uncle for ridding the village of that monster goat.

By the way, which kin persin call "Alum" as "Kaun" (Potash)?
No kill person for house O!

See as im dey wink before Uncle do justice for-am grin

As someone pointed out use a hammer,saw it on TV, hitting the meat witha hammer or any other device has been proven to tenderize it.never tried it though.
