Ingredients

  • 1 steak

Method

Wrap the steak in cling film, then hit it with a meat mallet. If you do not have a meat mallet you can hit it with a roll of tin foil.

You can tenderize other meats such as chicken or veal in the same way.

Once tenderized you can cook the steak on a very hot griddle pan.
