You don't need to tenderize rib eye in the first place. I've never
used any tenderizer on steaks. If I want a tender grilled steak, then
I'll shop accordingly and purchase Ribeye, T-Bone, Porterhouse,
Tenderloin, Strip Loin etc. We can purchase here bottom sirloin tri
tips which I use for stir fry. That cut is fairly tender(a tad chewy)
and flavourful.
