Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf Enzymes}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Meat is a good source of protein because it is the main component. Hormones, oil, and water won't really produce a substance when added to meat. Enzymes break down different substances. The right enzyme can break down proteins. The monomer, or building block, of protein is an amino acid. Therefore, when a protein is broken down, amino acids are produces.

So, from the information above, we can assume that the substance is an enzyme. Enzymes break down meat/protein into amino acids.
