Abstract: The present invention relates to a process as well as to the related equipment for the production of strips, or of substantially thin pieces of tenderized meat, which are intended as ingredients for high-tenderness meat products in order to form a basic attribute of acceptability for the consumer, particularly because of the high sensorial quality perceived by the same consumer in chewing. Said process consists in subjecting the pieces of meat--advantageously cut in a preparatory device--to the pressing and tightening action of a tenderizing mechanical equipment, which changes their shape by submitting them to flattening sliding motions in several directions, in order to obtain a geometric shape like thin sheets of meat of complete tenderness and friability with both a higher nutritive quality and market value.
