Tenderize
In cooking, tenderizing is a process to break down collagens in meat to make it more palatable for consuption.
There are three basic forms: Mechanical tenderization, such as pounding, and the tenderization that occurs through cooking, such as braising. Lasty meat tenderizers also exist in the forms of naturally occuring enzymes that can be added to food before cooking.
