Abstract
A device that facilitates the simultaneous tenderizing and flattening of meat is provided. The device uses a modified rolling pin like structure and has a meat preparation central section between two opposing handles. The meat preparation area has a greater circumference in the middle which decreases where the meat preparation area meets each handle. The meat preparation area consists of alternating bands of a tenderizing element and a flattening element arranged in a non-linear fashion. Each tenderizing element consists of an array of serrations of varying sizes.
