Real talk, “pasteurize” is the stupidest most misaligned word that could have possibly been used for the process of sterilizing via heat.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Pasteur
It's named after the inventor of the process though. Heat things to kill bacteria.
Oh that makes sense

It should be "Pasteurize", as it's named after Louis Pasteur. And the specific process he invented dramatically increases the shelf life of milk using very high temperatures for a very short time.... Without changing the milk texture or cooking it very much.
So pasteurization is a process that sterilises did with heat. But I don't think it works on meat.
