3V 100% Natural Liquid Meat Tenderizer (Papain)

This stuff really works. I'm 71 and don't have the tooth power that I once did, and I was beginning to think that eating steak was a thing of the past. But what I do now is buy a plain old top sirloin, take it out of the fridge about a half hour before cooking, stick some holes in it with a fork and apply this tenderizer. After sitting for 20-30 minutes before cooking, the steak comes out tender as can be with no taste of any kind that shouldn't be there. I am absolutely amazed at how well this stuff works, and I highly recommend the product.

This worked pretty good, although it is impossible to use just a couple of drops on a steak. It definitely took more and on both sides. That is why I only give it 4 stars. I would order it again though as it is all natural.Some one asked a question which I couldn't answer, so here I am 3yrs and 6mos later adding to my review. I ended up buying Papain and mixing it with water in a small spray bottle. It worked great but took me awhile to get just the right combination so the meat wouldn't turn mushy. Above all put it on only 5 minutes or less before grilling.

Didn't work for me at all and also for the other 2 people that I gave a bottle ...Sad

This meat tenderizer works quite well, I was surprised how well it works, actually. I agree with the reviewer who said you will use more than a few drops. I essentially pierced my beef all over with a fork and then painted this tenderizer on both sides. I let it sit like that for about 45 minutes, then grilled my steak. It didn't make it mushy at all, but it did make it tender. By the way, I noticed that this is the main ingredient in my seasoned meat tenderizer. If you use this instead, you won't have to worry about adding salt to an overpowering flavor to your food.

did not like the odor

This stuff is amazing. I put it to the test as soon as it arrived. I put it on the toughest cut off meat i know, the original beef skirt steak fajitas. I followed the instructions on the bottle and cooked them over the grill, they were soft juicy and the tenderizer had absolutely no effect on the taste like most liquid tenderizers. It was delicious. I will definitely continue buying this product.

Oh my! You only need a few drops on a steak to tenderize it completely. Bye bye expensive cuts, hello cheap cuts! No more being ripped off at the meat dept. I use it on all meats, but have not tried it on fish. You rub this on, and wait 20 mins. Then cook. It keeps tenderizing even after cooking. I will be adding this to any marinade I have for all meats. If you are marinating overnight, only add this at the end, else your meat will fall apart into paste. You only need a few drops, no more.Good value, goes a long way. Heartily recommend!

Finally.....I've been looking for this for 5+ yrs.(including Amazon). The company I used to get it from disappeared & the rest of the "tenderizers" are salt & sugar w/ maybe some herbs,don't know if they even tenderize. Oh,I have no idea how this does on food,I like a lot of people in Fl use this as a antidote for fire ant bites. The papaya extract breaks down protein which is the ant venom delivery system,so a couple drops ASAP & no more pain,pustules & the rest associated w/ the little buggers bites (can't have just one).Haven't tried this yet but see no reason why it won't do great.I may even try it on some meat,the price of decent beef these days.
