Although any type of meat tenderizer is good for using, I like to use the hammer type one. Because it works when I want the semi-tenderizing even when I work tenderizing properly. And of course, you should have a chopping board, where we put the meat for tenderizing.

• Meat processing: Selected meat for tenderizing should be fatless. Clean all the blood and unwanted things from the meat with fresh water. Then cut it in a medium-thin slice. That will ensure that when you will tender it then all the spice will be absorbed inside of the meat from either part.
• Tenderizing: Keep a clean chopping board to tenderizing. I saw many people who smear the spices on the meat before tender it which is a wrong practice. Simply tender it with hammer or probe-type of tenderizer. Of course, it is important to tender either part of the meat. But beware during tenderizing from an excess stroke in the same place.
• Marinating: From my sense, 50% test of tenderizing meat depends on proper tenderize. And the rest 50% test depends on the proper marinating. Make a paste with your desire spice powder. And smear it on the meat. Make a balance during smear it in every part of the meat. Keep it 15-20 and the meat will become ready to grill.

Don’t scrub it too hard, either it will make blunt the hammering end. If there will no rust then use normal soap and clean all Bloodshed manually.
