Meat Tenderizer Uses: Grilling, Shawarma and Who Uses It

Meat tenderizer is a functional powder that softens tougher cuts of red meat for grilling and shawarma, used mainly by grill restaurants and meat factories. This guide explains its uses, what it does for the producer, and how to order it.

Pack of Meat tenderizer — Food Developers

What is meat tenderizer?

Some cuts of red meat have more connective tissue and tougher fibers, so they stay chewy after grilling. Tenderizer powders generally act on the proteins of the meat and soften these fibers, so a tough cut eats more tender. Meat tenderizer from Food Developers is a functional tenderizer in powder form, made for red meat. People also search for it as meat tenderizer powder.

Uses of meat tenderizer

Meat tenderizer is used with red meat only. Its main uses:

  • Softening tougher meat cuts before grilling.
  • Meat shawarma preparation.
  • Burger and kofta texture.
  • Red meat preparation in restaurants and meat factories.

How to use meat tenderizer

The tenderizer is mixed with the marinade, and imported beef and local beef need different amounts. The guide amounts are on the product page under How to use. Do not raise the amount or the marinating time beyond them: too much tenderizer or too long a rest can make the meat mushy.

What meat tenderizer does for the producer

A grill or shawarma kitchen works with cuts that are not all equally tender. The tenderizer evens that out.

  • Tender grilled meat even from tougher cuts.
  • A more consistent bite from batch to batch.
  • A dry powder that is easy to measure and store.

Who uses meat tenderizer?

Processed meat factories (burger, kofta and sausage) and ready and frozen shawarma producers use it, together with grill and kebab restaurants, western restaurants and steakhouses, shawarma restaurants and butcher shops that prepare kofta and burger.
