Normally I only buy sirloin to make stir fry. This week it was on at such a good price that I decided to try baking soda tenderizing on them before grilling them. It turned out to be a pretty good option and I'll be sure to do it again. Before marinating the steak in a recipe from all recipes......it claimed to be the best...who am I to argue?......I treated the steaks with some baking soda in water for 15- 20 minutes. If you have sirloin sliced across the grain ready for stir fry....marinating with baking soda and rinsing as outlined below, will give even better tenderizing result since the cut is much thinner. Want to give it a try...read on.
Tenderizing Steaks
Before marinating your steaks...treat them with a bit of baking soda to help tenderize the meat a bit.
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cup water
Dissolve the baking soda in water and pour over steaks in a ziplok bag. Set aside for 15-20 minutes. Rinse well and proceed with marinade .
Marinade
Adapted from All Recipes
3 Tbsp soy sauce
4 Tbsp vegetable oil
3 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp worchestershire sauce
2 tsp garlic, granulated
4 tsp dried basil
2 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp black pepper
Combine all and pour over steaks in ziplok bag and marinate in fridge over night or for an hour or two if you have lest time. Remove from marinade and grill to your liking.
