Easy Tenderizing - Tip of the Day

Marinating the meat doesn't always yield a tender dish. Try this next time!

A tip from grilling expert Gena Knox.

A traditional oil- and acid-based marinade does not tenderize meats since it only penetrates about 1/4-inch into the meat.

Adding buttermilk or yogurt to marinades for salmon, chicken and lamb is an easy way to make food moister and more tender.
