Please stab up the yard refrigerator with that slap chop thingy.
Sonny, your fridge fight at the end of the video had you as Batman with laser eyes. I think it was Superman who had laser eyes. Batman's super power was being rich.
Go Bob go!!!!
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.
U use ur left hand for meat tenderizing more then most imo.
Pig Shark portion is AWESOME
Pig shark needs to be a plushy merch. I would buy it
Ikr? Love this guy so much, he's a riot🎉 and a damn good chef.
no one is safe when pig shark is near...

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.
You are a real chef, not like baldy!
The partially frozen seems like a great idea and would possibly prevent the meat from falling apart effect I get when I stab it with a fork to mimic this tenderizer lol
I find they are fine if used sparingly. Too much and the texture of the meat gets ruined.
How does Cleaning work ? seems so Overcomplicated to clean
A fork does the same job
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.
what is EVOO?

The fact that's there's restaurants that would charge double, I salute you.
I would consider this experiment a success my friends! Here is the tool I used-amzn.to/3L6iWe0
Bro don't underestimate Sargent Gilbert
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! Thanks for sharing this youtube, Dude! It was fun to watch!
One of those full turkey breasts, always dry and tough. Cut it into steaks about 3/4" thick and use your marinade, and that stabby tool. Would be more telling than the thighs, which are generally pretty tender. Great video, heading off to make that marinade!
how do you make sure to clean?
Soap and water and soak well. I'm not a commercial kitchen, but have the 3 sink setup.

You're easily the most entertaining chef online. I look forward to your videos. Keep up the good work!
Sonny is great
I recommend you check out Chef Jean Pierre as he is a fantastic chef and what a great entertainer and human being.
Thank you for showing us this, and all of your videos are so helpful. It's just got too expensive for most of the Middle Class to eat out now. We can't pay $ 12 / 14 bucks for a burger in Houston, Texas. After the Pandemic, everything is so expensive, and our finances are not doing well with this inflation. So, your cooking videos and education helps us keep costs down.

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.
You didn't water the tree of liberty and now its dead.
I can't imagine how much money you don't make for texas to not be affordable. As a canadian everything in texas is insanely cheap, like everything in canada is atleast double the price or more.
Excited to try the marinade! Thanks brother for making me a better cook over the years. Legend!
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.
That tenderizing tool is amazing. I bought one years ago to tenderize the most bottom of the barrel cuts of meat and made the absolute best and most tender grillades n grits. That thing could tenderize a boot.
I use this for London broil and it turns out amazing every time.
This is my technique as well
Been using that tool for about 10 years. Great tool. Pain to clean.
Soak in hot soapy water for a couple hours. And then get a large sponge like you use to wash a car. Stab the sponge until the tines/blades are clean.
Bro your like the only chef on TH-cam who’s recipes I actually make and they are always great. Keep it up
ive been using one of these things for a few years and it definitely makes a big difference. great for anything that doesn’t require aesthetic presentation
Love that you shared so much good grilling information. Thanks for another great video
I found that the spring loaded paddle on this thing smashed the meat more than I wanted. So I tied it up with zip ties. Now i can poke as many holes in it as I want and not lose as much thickeners of the meat. It definitely works.
I got one of these from a subscription box about a year ago and never used it. Bout to give it a try.
Enjoyed this immensely.
You’ve taken your channel to level next. Very creative and entertaining. 👍🇺🇸
I have been using mine for over 45 years and it works great.
can't wait to try this, thanks!!!
Bought it! Thank you!
Sonny, What a great cook and experiment! Loved every bit of this video!
Great video as always man. Idk if people tell you this often but you probably have the best outros of any other TH-camr out there. Keep up the great work and I love the humor.
That torch will be a game changer for my grilling. Thanks ThatGuy
Word. Been using the Jaccard for several years now and it’s become my favorite kitchen tool.
Love what you do! I would like to see the same cuts of meat done with and without the tenderizer though. I have been cooking pork shoulder steaks for years and they are so great. No tenderizing. I’ll try the tool and see if there is a difference. Thanks again…your videos are really fun and informative
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.
Dude CAN cook! The meat tenderizer method made a huge difference on how tender chicken breast turns out and that chipotle marinade was BOMB! Made some tasty tortas! Thanks Sonny! Also, I purchased the meat tenderizer to support your channel. Mine broke making this :)
I have one of those tenderizers and love it!
The grocery store I goto here makes pork shoulder steaks. Its cheap and honestly tender on its own, no tenderizing needed
Wow! Where have I been? I need to watch more of your grilling videos.
I have one of those things in my kitchen somewhere. It might be time to find it and make it useful.
Thanks 👍🏼
I have read that when you tenderize meat like that you bring any bacteria on the surface like ecoli into the center of the meat requiring higher internal temps than a typical steak cooked to 130 degrees.
It’s amazing watching cooking shows over the years, and just before or during recessions there is cheap cut meat recipients plus some mention of how expensive things are getting.
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.
The fridge cut-aways make my day
I have one of those tenderizers and omg it does wonders on cheap cuts and even more on good cuts. If you don't have one yet you are missing out! I use it on everything now no matter what, just use it less on better meat so it doesn't get too flat. 👍👌
WELL, its gonna be a good day now!! Cant wait to see what I'm cooking next!! Love this channel!!
You my friend are my favorite marinade ever for grilled meat.
I have one of these that I've used for several years. I absolutely love it! I also use it on whole pork tenderloin before marinating, as well as pork and beef roasts. I even stabbed my thanksgiving ham with it before baking and adding my candy glaze
Interesting! What a great experiment!
Been having my Jaccard for a while now. Love it for those tougher cuts.
I have one of those Stabby things and it works very well on crispy pork belly.
The pig shark add-in was just awesome!
The shark killed me 😂😂😂
I love your channel so much! ❤️
Never had a belief in this tool but I'm here for it.
Love watching you.
“Not so tough now are ya” was a great line lol
love the experiment content
Having not even seen the tool in the title yet, this video is already worth my like. Your marinade is making me regret buying those pre-marinated chicken breasts yesterday.
That sounds amazing.
I really like the fact that you have cool pictures in your thumbnails, everybody else has got stupid expressions. Thank you for being different.
Very generous to give Marcus the best line, "not so tough now, are you".
Sir i randomly found your video on YT (W algorithm) but i love to cook and i rarely grill but i would like to get into it. watching your 13 min video talk me more than most have ty sir 👍
That pig shark thing was too funny!! I totally said it looked like a fish and then you did that crap! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 the sounds effects were hilarious! I had to rewind and watch again.
Thats really awesome
Looks delicious!!!
Hey Sonny, use the cilantro (coriander) root. It’s fantastic! Full of flavour.
I bought that same tenderizer in Austin when I lived there in the early 2000's and have been using it for 20 years.
I buy a whole rump and cut it up at home. Before throwing it on the weber, I always tenderise it like this - but push it's shape back to how it was before cooking. Being rump, it tastes nice and beefy, plus it's a lot more tender.
The shaved head and goatee combo is just cracking me up.
5:04 - the pork looks like the USA
I use mine on Eye of Round. I make 1 complete pass horizontal and 1 complete pass vertical. On both sides and that makes it tender and faster cooking.
Wow this guys stuff is a lot better now. Very cool.
I agree making a marinade in a mortar and pestle somehow just makes it better! Plus its kind of fun grinding up shit. The first recipe I made a marinade in mortar & pestle was Almazon Kitchen Epic Whole Fried Chicken and it was amazing. I will gladly try your marinade. Thanks!
For those wondering a jaccard is great, but they tend to not last too long. I worked as a meat cutter and butcher and I forgot how many of these I went through over a 6 year time frame. There is also a super jaccard machine that is a pain to clean.
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.
my first thought
cook the meat to 145
god I just love your videos lol. Ive had a Jaccard in my cabinet for 2 decades now, replaced a few times. As you said, its not needed for everything, but yeah, when you pull it out and put it to work on some tougher cuts, it is a noticed difference, and can open those cuts to a whole new world of menu options haha. Keep up the great work, and the fridge kickin' !!
This definitely works, but I'm not sure I could truly recommend. I worked at a very high-end steakhouse in DC that "gilded the lily" by also using meat tenderizers on already tender steaks, and the end product was tender, but the steak had a bit of dryness and airiness to the texture that always felt a bit off.
I’ve owned several of those gadgets and my current one hasn’t been used in a couple of years. I cook most of my meat sous vide now and it seems superfluous. I think it’s some help with tough meat being cooked in a conventional way.
Sonny, I've followed you for years and I think Markus is the best critic. I would say that he's a keeper! IYKYK
I love this
It works
Leave the chuck thicker to compensate for the flattening while stabbing and it will be easier to control the temperature.
That's exactly what I do buy cheap cut of beef and cut it 1/2 inch thicker or so and it's perfect
I need this thing
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.
Texas Roadhouse uses those on every steak !!!! Was a meat cutter for a few years for them .. hand cut steaks everyday .... But hella tenderized !!!
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
You should try this experiment with eye round/top round/bottom round cuts
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.
I actually love grilled chuck roast; it's a bit tough, but a super flavorful cut. Getting it more tender and getting more marinade into the meat could be a winner!
Grilled chuck roast? That sounds tough as hell
@@t-rozbenouameur5304 It isn't. It's delicious and pretty tender. The chuck is just past the ribeye on the cow and the first few cuts from the chuck roll primal cut are called chuck-eye steaks.
@fretless05 just I've never heard anyone talk about a fast and quick cooking method for a chuck roast. It's always braised and slow cooled so news to me.
@@t-rozbenouameur5304did you watch the video? I'm pretty sure the 1st cut of meat was chuck roast. He cut it in half to make it thinner, ran the hole puncher then marinated before grilling.
The mallet meat tenderizer is the best and works real well. That's all you need.
I use it but I highly recommend putting your marinade or spices on it first then punch the holes
Great video as I've always wondered about the tool's effectiveness. I'm also curious about how the tool is cleaned...??? Thanks for the marinade recipe.
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.
Cook it like a steak? I probably won't do brisket, I want to buy cheap meat and make it tender. Brisket is a little more expensive.
@woodstream6137 Well, you caught me in a senior moment error. Thanks, I'll go change it. We used London Broil or Top Round not brisket. Sometimes, we used a chuck roast. And yes, we grilled them all like a steak, on the grill to medium rare. We also used the tenderizer and an Italian marinade with garlic on chicken breast for super tender and juicy chicken. I didn't punch as many holes in the chicken, just enough to allow the marinade to penetrate the chicken.
@@charliedavis8894 😊
Awsome. I've seen experiments using pineapple juice to tenderize cheap cut? I'd like to see the same process with a London broil? Glad you left the pork a little pink. SO much better that way!
Marcus brings a great je ne sais quoi to the channel. Keep him part of the show and definitely keep doing what you're doing, because 'you know we love you!"
The marinade reminds me of Korean bbq, when you said lime juice or lime zest I thought fish sauce and you would be on your way. Very nice 👍 thank you for sharing
Where do you get boneless (but skin on) chicken? The closest I've come to that is at Aldi but they only have what's called "split" chicken breasts which still have an annoying bone in them but still has their skin intact. Never mind trying to find thighs.
Love the Laser-Foo.😁
I feel like such a dolt......never thought about spinning the grill around like you did. Easier than relocating each piece of meat. Great show.
The pig shark got me. Good job .
Bro a Jacquard like we've got would make tender of course it's gonna save cheap steak, that's basically what it's made for.
We used to use these when I worked for Thomas Keller. They would tenderize their flat irons.
Try the long reverse sear chuck steak so good
5:11 My friend, those punches and that roar, hilarious!
I use one of these for poking holes in the skin of pork belly when I'm making Chinese crispy pork belly. I haven't used it for much else.
Pig Shark cracked me up!😂
That 80s theme music. This recipe, over the top. TEXAS, BAM!!!
Went ahead and picked one up. Also have the same mallet, lol.
