Don't believe what they say that Kiwi fruit won't over tenderise, It will.
I had to work a half day last Saturday morning with an early start so on Friday night I marinated some beef short ribs in a classic Galbi Korean marinade ,,,, with a small kiwi in it.
When it was time to bbq on Saturday afternoon they were mush. So much so I was actually pleased I made some sort of scientific experiment with success.
I pushed ahead and they were a real pain to grill over charcoal but they were ok in the end, They certainly weren't bloody tough on the chew. I overcame the problem by cooking them longer to firm up.
In hind sight, I should have given them no more than six hours.
Those Kiwis are potent little buggers so beware of "Marinate Overnight" claims, It's a trap!
