Abstract
A tray for tenderizing a piece of meat that has a base and a tray wall extending around a periphery of the base forming a pool for retaining marinade within the tray. A plurality of tines extend from a first side of the base and into the pool. Upon placing a piece of meat atop the plurality of tines, a plurality of holes are cause to be punctured in a surface of the meat adjacent to the tines thereby increasing the surface area of the meat able to absorb the marinade.
