view glossary term online: https://www.recipetips.com/glossary-term/t--36206/tenderizing-tool.asp

Tools used to reduce the toughness of meat fibers in a cut of meat. The tools resemble a hammer-like utensil typically made of steel or similar alloys. The tools have a head on them with a flat or point-protruding surface that is pounded into the meat to break apart the meat fibers. Breaking the meat fibers softens the meat, making it easier to chew.
