The compression plate is supported by legs and includes an elongated slot therein. The cutting element is positioned in a vertical orientation and has a cutting portion that projects upwardly through the elongated slot. The plurality of rollers are pivotably coupled to guide brackets and are frictionally engaged by a one or more flexible belts such that one roller is rotated concomitantly with another roller. The spacing device adjustably couples the guide brackets and compression plate such that the flexible belts and compression plate are arranged in substantially parallel-spaced relation. In operation, the flexible belts rotatably engage the meat product and draw the it over the cutting element forming a superficial spiral incision of generally uniform depth.
