    Brining with lime?

    Watched a utube where they used lime juice to tenderize. So I thought salt was the only thing that meat could draw in. The example was steak. Others articles say coffee,tea, beer, lemon, coke etc. are they talking about flavoring or tenderizing?

    Acid denatures protein, so line or lemon juice will have a tenderizing effect, but things can get mushy pretty quickly.

      Another thing I read is that acid will result in less smoke ring , a base will make more ring.

        But since we ALL know that smoke ring is purely cosmetic with zero impact on flavor, this should be a non-factor, right? ;-)

      I know Kent Rollins is a big fan of using limes as- a tenderize on steaks.

      I would contact Guga Foods on YouTube and have him test it. Anybody that will sous-vide brisket for 30 days surely can try out a little lime and lemon juice.

        That was a tasty brisket. I could smell if from my computer. I don’t remember who posted it here but I laughed so hard when I watched it.

        tbob4 , I saw Guga dry age I think a rib eye in peanut butter fer 30 days. Recommendation: don’t do it, the steak has a funky taste.
