Here's how to make a cheap and easy meat tenderizer. Just add 1 to 2 tablespoons of white vinegar to your cooking liquids and your roasts, stew meats, and steaks will come out tender and juicy every time. Another option is to pierce your meat all over with a fork and then soak it in vinegar for 1 to 2 hours before you cook it.
The top handle is comfortable to hold when pressing the tenderizer into the meat, and it’s safe enough for kids to use. When it’s not being used for steaks, this tenderizer can be used to poke holes in potatoes or dock dough before baking. It should be washed by hand. Dimensions: 7.5 x 2 x 2 inches

This stainless steel tenderizer works similarly to a meat mallet, but its base is wide and flat, like a spatula. This allows the tool to hit a wider portion of the meat with each blow for even results—great when working with uneven cuts, like chicken breasts.
