Tear off a sheet of parchment paper slightly bigger than your round steak. Lay it out over a wooden cutting board or over a flat work surface. This will prevent the steak from sticking to anything as you tenderize it. Instead of parchment paper, you could also use clingfilm or a clean plastic bag to cover your steak. Anything that will prevent the meat from directly touching another surface and that can be removed easily will work great. Take your round steak out of the packaging and lay it down on your parchment paper. Cover the steak with another piece of paper or clingfilm so that it is securely covered on both sides.

Summary: Cover a flat surface with parchment paper. Lay your steak down and cover it.

Once you've come up with an idea for an invention, you'll need to build a prototype. You can show this to prospective customers and buyers to generate interest in your product. You can also use a prototype as a model when you begin to build your physical product. Design software, like AutoDesk Inventor, can also help you build a digital prototype of your invention. While working digitally can help, try to make a small physical prototype. This will allow you to experience with materials and find the right combination to make your invention as solid as possible. Once you have a solid prototype of your product, begin showing it off. There are a variety of ways you can generate interest in your idea. You want to look for potential investors and buyers. One way to build interest for your idea is to attend trade shows. You could even look into getting your own booth at a trade show and display your product. Another way to build interest is to network with other inventors and get a sense of what similar products are out there. You may have to tweak your product to give yourself an edge over the competition. Talk to a market research firm if it's within your budget. This can give you a sense of trends in the market you're working in, as well as general demographics. If you believe you have a product that could potentially sell, contact a patent lawyer. You will want to get a patent on your product to make sure it doesn't get stolen by a competitor. It's vital to protect your intellectual property, especially if you think there's a market for it, so make sure you contact a patent lawyer. Search for a lawyer online, or in your local yellow pages, and make an appointment to discuss your product. Patent law is very complicated, so do not attempt to file a patent on your own unless you have extensive legal experience. If you have a friend who works in law, and who knows patent law, you may want to see if he or she will do some work for a discount price. Patents costs between $3,000 and $10,000 to file. While that may sound like a lot, if you've determined there's a market for your product it's well worth the cost. Patents take awhile to go through. It may take 3 years until you've successfully patented your product. Use this time to continue researching the market and tweaking your product to meet consumer needs. It can be expensive to patent and market your product to the right audience. Consider doing an online marketing campaign through a site like Kickstarter or GoFundMe. In addition to giving the money necessary to get your product off the ground, this can also help generate public interest. Consider the best way to reach your target audience. Social media would work well for a younger audience, while an older audience may respond better to mass emails. Keep your audience up-to-date on your goals and let them know how close you are to reaching them. Tell your audience about your product and be honest about how the money will be used. People will be more likely to donate if they know where their money is going. Allow people to share information easily. A sidebar on your fundraising page will allow people to post details of your page to social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter. After generating public interest and patenting your product, decide what you want to do with your idea. Investors usually either sell licenses of their products to larger companies, or create and sell products themselves. Figure out which path is right for you. If you want to sell the product yourself, consider whether you have the time and resources to do so. You may have to quit your job or reduce your hours. You should also weigh the costs of the resources it will take to build the product. The upside to selling your license is that you make money from royalties. You may not have to quit your current job, but you may give up a lot of money this route. On average, patent holders make about 2-7% of retail sales on their products.

Summary: Build a prototype. Cultivate interest for your idea. Talk to a patent lawyer. Consider a fundraising campaign. Decide whether to sell your idea or make it yourself.
