Why This Makes a Difference
Unlike heavy marinades or slow cooking, this simple step softens even tougher cuts quickly without overpowering the meat’s natural flavor. It’s especially great for stir-fries, grilled meats, and recipes that require quick cooking.
Bonus Tips for Perfectly Tender Meat
- Don’t skip rinsing—the baking soda needs to be washed off to avoid a soapy taste.
- Use baking soda tenderizing for cuts like flank steak, skirt steak, or chicken breast.
- Combine with your favorite seasonings and sauces for extra flavor.
- Avoid over-tenderizing by not exceeding 30 minutes of baking soda treatment.
