A » Meat becomes tough due to the development of collagen fibers and muscle proteins during the animal's life. Tenderizing methods include mechanical methods like pounding, enzymatic methods using papain or bromelain, and marination with acidic ingredients such as vinegar or citrus juices. Slow cooking methods like braising can also help break down collagen, resulting in more tender meat.
