I've been buying some cuts of meat that really need tenderizing, but all the supermarket brands have sugar listed as their first or second ingredient. Anyone out there know of a better alternative?

Thanks!

You know I never noticed and I've been using unseasoned meat tenderizer for years. Learn something new everyday. I've never noticed negative effects from the little used. However you can also use a marinade which I do often. Use wine or apple cider vinegar, spices, seasonings, a little oil, worcestershire sauce. Mix in a blender or shake jar. Poke meat all over with a fork, put in a zipper storage bag or container, pour the marinade over it and turn over every 4-6 hours. Marinate for 6 hours or overnight in the refrigerator. Marinade can be varied with seasonings for different ethnic accents.
