A portable and light-weight steak tenderizer for use in the home is provided with a rotatable cylinder along the curved surface of which are fixed a plurality of truncated triangular cutting blades arranged in rows normally oriented relative to the axis of rotation of the cylinder. The individual cutting blades that are arranged in alternating ones of these rows are perpendicularly oriented relative to the axis of rotation of the cylinder. The individual cutting blades that are arranged in the rows adjoining these alternating rows are acutely angled relative to the axis of rotation of the cylinder, with alternating rows of these adjoining rows having their truncated triangular cutting blades oppositely angled relative to the cutting blades of their alternately adjoining acutely angled rows. The rotatable cylinder is supported by a handle member by means of which the cylinder may be pressably passed over the planar surfaces of a steak or the like to thereby sever the surface tissue and to thus tenderize the steak.
