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.
Real talk, “pasteurize” is the stupidest most misaligned word that could have possibly been used for the process of sterilizing via heat.

It’s named after the inventor of the process though. Heat things to kill bacteria.
Oh that makes sense

Pasteurized products are not sterile.
Sterilization should only be used to describe processes that leave no living microorganisms or fruitable spores behind.
