The texture of the meat that melts in your mouth and rich flavor makes steak very popular among meat lovers. However, some of us can’t afford the crazily expensive beef. Therefore, we conduct an experiment to make the steak more tender without buying high quality beef. It’s hoped that all of us can enjoy tender meat without buying such expensive meat.This research uses an experimental method. 1 control product which is a steak we didn’t marinated with the tendering ingredient and 3 other treatment products, namely using honey that have protease to break down protein also have pineapple and baking soda.
