I’ve used Asian pear (kalbi) and papaya (terrible bbq as part of bbq team in my 20’s). As BTbyrd says it runs the risk of making meat mushy if used for a prolonged marinade.
That said, it’s important to remember that enzymes themselves are protein catalysts. So they will themselves denature and stop working if exposed to heat, particularly high heat like grilling. Commercial products like premade kalbi marinade I buy probably have had the enzyme denatured by cooking before you get it.
So it’s mostly experimentation
i found a rather nice article, but I’m too dumb to know how to link it
