How to Use Meat Tenderiser

Want to enjoy these 5 fantastic benefits in your meaty meals? Then explore these simple tips on how to use meat tenderiser powders like a pro to ensure tender, succulent joy!

Choose the Right Cut:

Begin your culinary journey with a well-selected cut of meat. Opt for cuts known for tenderness, such as tenderloin or ribeye. Alternatively, tougher cuts like chuck or flank can be transformed into culinary delights with a quality meat tenderiser like Robertsons’.

Utilise Low and Slow Cooking Methods:

Slow-cooking methods, such as braising and stewing, work wonders for tougher cuts. The slow, gentle heat allows collagen in the meat to break down, resulting in a fork-tender texture.

Uniform Application:

For the finest results, ensure an even application of Robertsons Meat Tenderiser. Consistency in sprinkling this magical blend ensures every inch of the meat absorbs its tenderising charm, for a uniformly succulent dish.

Rest After Cooking:

Once your meat is cooked to perfection, allow it to rest before slicing. Resting lets the juices redistribute, ensuring a moist and tender final product. This simple step can significantly impact the overall texture of your dish. By mastering these techniques, you can tenderise meat like a seasoned chef, ensuring that every bite is a delightful experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is meat tenderiser made of?

Meat tenderisers typically contain enzymes — most commonly papain (derived from papaya) or bromelain (from pineapple) — that break down tough muscle proteins. Robertson's Meat Tenderiser combines these active enzymes with complementary spices and seasonings, so it tenderises and flavours your meat in a single step.

2. How long should you leave meat tenderiser on before cooking?

For most cuts, applying Robertson's Meat Tenderiser 30 minutes before cooking is sufficient. For thicker or particularly tough cuts like brisket or flank steak, you can leave it on for up to an hour. Avoid leaving it on for too long, as the enzymes can over-soften the meat and affect its texture.

3. Can I use meat tenderiser on all types of meat?

Yes — meat tenderiser powder works on beef, lamb, pork and poultry. It's especially effective on tougher, budget-friendly cuts like chuck, brisket, flank and chicken thighs, turning them into tender, flavourful dishes without the need for lengthy marinating.

4. Is meat tenderiser the same as a marinade?

No, though they complement each other. A marinade adds flavour and can mildly soften meat through acids (like vinegar or citrus juice). A meat tenderiser powder works faster and more effectively by using enzymes to break down tough muscle fibres at a structural level. Using Robertson's Meat Tenderiser before applying your marinade actually enhances flavour absorption.

5. How much meat tenderiser powder should I use?

A light, even sprinkle across the surface of the meat is generally enough — roughly half a teaspoon per 500g. Avoid over-applying, as this can result in an overly soft or slightly salty flavour. Always read the product's packaging for the most accurate guidance.

6: Can meat tenderiser replace a meat mallet?

For most home cooks, yes. A meat tenderiser powder like Robertson's achieves a similar result — softer, more pliable meat — without the physical effort of pounding. For dishes like schnitzel or paillard where a uniform thin cut is needed, you may still want to use a mallet for shaping, but the tenderising itself can be handled by the powder.
