How do you do meat tenderizer?

There are actually two types of meat tenderizer: one an enzyme (typically, "meat tenderizer powder"), and the other a tool ("a meat tenderizer"). If you are talking about the tool (which looks like a hammer with spikes on one or both sides), you just beat the cut of meat with it until it covers about twice the area it did before you smashed it. If referring to meat tenderizer powder, you sprinkle it liberally on the desired cut of meat and then use a fork or a meat tenderizer (the tool) to force the enzyme further into the meat immediately before cooking. The powder may also be used in marinades.
