      It seems too obvious that the soul purpose making this video is to sell this tool. But using pork Shoulder really makes me wonder what you are trying to demonstrate. Don't you know that pork shoulder is 100 times more tender than loin which is big part of the pork chop? It is tender even if you overcook it. and you poke it with this thing.
      Good acting with the Chuck roast though. I need to sous vide at 130F for 2 days to get the medium rare texture.

    I have used the Jaccard tenderizer for years not only for tenderizing but before brining and marinating. It works! The blade penetrations create tiny passages for marinades to penetrate the meat more easily. If you can use it on partially frozen meats I feel like it cuts through the tough muscle fibers more thoroughly without slipping between them. After each pass, rotate the tool 60° and do a 2nd pass over the meat surface. Repeat with a 3rd pass of multiple stab wounds. Great for cooking with the Asian velveting method for stir frying meats. There are many brands. One Jaccard 48 blade model can be had for $5 less than this red one and gets better reviews for some reason. Other brands are nearly half the price. I use on on cuts like top sirloin to mimic the tenderness of filet mignon.

    How you were using it near the end is exactly how a Jaccard should be used. Quick hits in and out then flip and do the other side. You don’t want to press and pull like you did with the first one. I’ve cooked professionally for years and I love this tool for tenderizing. Great content as always Sonny. Love your show.
    We sold an 8oz sirloin steak that our guests absolutely loved. Our secret was to Jaccard them and do a quick marinade in EVOO infused with garlic, thyme, rosemary, S&P. They couldn’t believe we could sell a steak so tender and delicious for $15 with two sides and a soup, or salad. I cannot tell you how many people asked if it was tenderloin.

      I shop for food fairly often, around two or three times a week. There are several grocers near me. "Manager's specials" are my thing. This week I got 1.5lb of 80/20 ground beef for $2.99/lb because is was a day short of the throw it away date and it wasn't really nice and red anymore. But I took it home and the meat smelled like nothing. Just fine. Yesterday I went to Aldi and they had a nice huge pack of salmon that was two days from the toss it date and looked perfect. I got it for 50% off. Two weeks ago another grocer had a two day sale on frozen chicken wings, $2.99 for a 3lb bag if you bought two or more. I've made them twice now and they are great. You have to have somebody in your household that can shop like they mean it or you are screwed.

    We have been using a similar tenderizor for acouple of years now and it has proven well worth while. Our favourites are making pork schnitzel and fried chicken, which become so tender and any marinade / brine is quicker and more flavourful with the marinade penetrating to the centre of the meat.

      You don't need no stinking tool to tenderize, Dude! You only need a jar of mayonnaise! And I suggest that you splurge on a brand name, like Hellman's. It will require about 1 hour of refrigerator time, and then you are good to go. Wash off the mayo, dry the meat with paper towels, allow the meat to temper to room temperature before you add the meat to the hot grill, and enjoy! Oh, and do not overcook, like you did! LOL!

  • @yacineg27
    @yacineg27 Před 11 měsíci +12

    I might be incorrect but this method of mechanical tenderisation would mean that you can't cook beef to rare/medium rare safely. The blade is touching the surface (where the E coli bacteria exists) and then making contact with the internal areas of the meat, where E coli typically does not exist, which would not be killed at the rare/medium rare temperature. Just putting this here as a warning for anyone who might be immunocompromised.

    I look for well marbled cheaper cut steaks, pound them with a mallet, then pan fry in avocado 🥑 oil and they come out great often much better than someone cooking them on a fancy outdoor grill who doesn’t tenderize and ends up with steaks that are too dry and overdone.

  • @jmcmonster
    @jmcmonster Před 11 měsíci +23

    Nice option for cheap cuts for sure! But it’s just a waste for the nicer stuff. Costco does this process to almost all of their pre-cut steaks and it makes no sense to me why they would ever do that to a ribeye or strip? I think tenderloin is one of the few they don’t. You’ll see that the package says “blade tenderized.” It also has a warning to cook the meat to 145, which is above what most people would want a steak. They do this because with all of those holes, bacteria can get deep into the meat. Normally it would would be on the surface, and quickly killed with contact to the hot surface during cooking. Not the case if something is living inside and you cook to med rare. I’m sure it’s totally fine as tons of people eat those steaks and Costco tends to have fantastic sanitary standards. Also, no issue with doing that at home as long as the tool is clean. I just think it’s a waste of a good steak, so now I prefer to buy the whole muscle and break down into steaks myself. Plus you save some cash that way.

    If you want to turn a chuck roast into a steak, just do a reverse sear to about 126 or so and then form the crust - they're fantastic that way. I've never done pork butt other than low and slow and turning it into carnitas or pulled pork, so I've always thought of it as a very tender piece of meat - so, pounding it flat and stabbing it a million times doesn't surprise me that it would work out with high heat applications.

    Bought a jaccard years ago and it changed everything for me. I use it constantly. In fact, my first one is starting to dull a bit. It's best to poke fast rather than press hard and pull out slowly. I can now tenderize while flattening the meat only a small amount. One of my favorite uses is on a large chuck roast that I'm going to use for jerky. I don't mind jerky that fights back some, but some can be pretty hard on the teeth if not tenderized some, lol.

    I used one similar to that for years until my daughter stole it, lol. The older version didn't have the handle. I used it mostly on thicker cuts, not slicing a chuck like you did, for example.
    My family's favorite is a thick London Broil or top round, using the tenderizer all over each side. I always turned it to a N to S jab, then an E to W jab, followed by SW to NE and a final NW to SE. Then I'd mix a marinade of soy, ginger, garlic, green onion, and olive oil, marinate an hour or 2, then grill. Those London Broils (and others) were almost as tender as prime rib and were better than steak.

I didn't punch as many holes in the chicken, just enough to allow the marinade to penetrate the chicken.

    I think the reason food tastes different when ground with a mortar and pestle vs blender is similar to why soda tastes different in a bottle vs aluminum can. Chemical reactions going on while you're grinding it, rubbing against the material of the mortar and pestle (maybe even little bits of them getting ground into the food as well) alter the flavor of the food, while the blender just quickly chops it all up and mixes it, without adding anything to it, or altering it in any sort of chemical way.

    Been using a jaccard tenderizer for some time for making things like katsu, chicken fried steak or fried pork loin sandwiches. Can be used for a lot of stuff. I do recommend getting one that's big enough for the task. Better to have more tines and size than you need than work with too small of a tenderizer and have to put twice as much effort into the hole punching than needed in my opinion. Also better to tenderize yourself at home than buy cuts of meat at the store that have been run through a machine to tenderize them. You're reliant on some stranger feeling motivated enough to clean equipment properly and frankly, I don't have that kind of confidence lol

    I’ve had the Jaccard ever since I saw Alton Brown use it on Good Eats. It’s basically the same thing you have; I like the handle on yours better. I can say with hundreds of uses under my belt; this thing is totally worth it. Not only will it tenderize but it helps marinades penetrate better. The alternative is to ask the guy at the meat counter run it through a “cuber”, if they have one. Or by your own; they run about $1200 and can mangle your hand if you’re not careful.

    Steak try a pineapple juice or buttermilk 48 prior then dry brine with salt 24 hours prior to ur perfered cooking method.
    Pork is best cooked slow hence my perfered method is smoking and finishing sous vide.

    All the little cuts also allow the moisture in the meat to exit! They can be difficult to clean, I got a cheap one a few years ago that you can remove the cutter head and foot for easier cleaning.

    Because it flattens the meat, I wouldn't have cut the meat until after I'd tenderized it. Then, just cut the flattened piece into two portions. I think the thickness would be better this way.

    Great demo...just got mine, though a different brand. And I currently have a couple huge T-Bones dry aging for a couple more weeks, then use this. So as to not to flatten the steak at all, and what's nice with the one I have, it has two metal loops on the ends, and will bungee wrap it up a bit, exposing the blades, yes...I know it's an unsafe practice, but it has to be exposed a little to properly clean them anyways....so just quick jabs will be suffice on both sides....and not to go too crazy!...thanks!

    A mortar and pestle actually does make a difference than using a blender or food processor. It crushes the cells of everything. It really makes a difference with onions and peppers. That's why salsa just tastes better from a mortar and pestle

  • @richardrichardsen6611
    @richardrichardsen6611 Před 3 měsíci

    The Jaccard is not usually used on thin cuts of meat. In the example above it would be better to have used it on the meat before it was cut into two layers then cut afterwards if thin pieces were desired. It's also not a good idea to beat the crap out of the meat with it. One pass left and right then square the meat ( bring it back to its original thickness by thumping the sides on the cutting board ) then an additional pass top to bottom with no overlap in either direction. If you salt the meat first the blades will help drive the salt into the meat.

    Considering your comment about how a little elbow grease makes food taste better, I would think you'd have realized a good sturdy fork will work just as well AND be easier to clean. That's what my husband uses for cheaper cuts of steak prior to marinating. Works perfectly every time, and it cuts down on kitchen clutter that has only one purpose.

    I've used this thing some to tenderize tough cuts and the issue I have is that it destroys the structure of the meat that you'd expect. You wind up with what we see in the video, meat that flattens way out and assumes bizarre shapes and it's tenderized excessively like an old Ponderosa restaurant steak. Also like you found the meat dries out easily in cooking. I kinda like sous vide when I want to make something like a faux ribyeye out of chuck, but it is slow, like 24 hours. Also as noted nobody tells you how to clean these things. I soak mine in hot water and dish soap, rinse and hope for the best.

    Take a chuck roast like that slice it very thin (deli slicer even if you have one) then use one of these on it and cook it super fast in a hot pan and use a slice or a few depending just how thin you get it on a toasted bun of your choice for an amazing steak sandwich. A bit of your favorite steak sauce and toppings *crispy onions and a bit of nacho cheese is my usual go to*, but the topping options are endless it is pretty unbeatable.
