Any one know where I can get a roller or spiked meat tenderizer at a reasonable price?

You could try the salvation army... sounds silly but you can often find things like that at second hand stores.

Thanks omokoroa. That would be good. I have a mallet but have been doing ox heart steaks in bulk for the freezer and all that hammering is hard on me and the bench!! It really needs to be tenderized to give it the right texture but it's lovely to eat when done properly.

Thank you all so much. I have used kiwifruit before but this is more about getting the texture right. However I will try the marinade.

I have a large wooden block and use the back of my big breadknife but it does take a while.
Tell me about these Ox heart steaks though what do you do with them?

From Alison Holst's book - cut diagonal slices, trim to produce a steak shape. Tender if cooked rare. Use mallet for texture. Good flavour, excellent value. I also use them for stews and stuff and pot roast.

Use the Chinese restaurant secret meat tenderizer: baking soda!Google it for tips, but basically you rub it onto the meat and leave for about 10 minutes then (obviously!) rinse really well and dry.
