The Best way to Tenderise Meat
The best way to tenderise any piece of meat is through a hammer style meat tenderiser. There are often two sides to each hammer, one flat and one with edges. The flat side is suitable for pounding meat like chicken and the tougher side with multiple edges are for tougher cut meat like pork and beef.
Though there it is not necessary to tenderise your meat, doing so will result in a more juicy, soft and chewy piece of meat that you will never forget.
