Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- Chuck eye roll beef, as needed
- Baking soda, 1-2 tablespoons
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Minced garlic, 1 tablespoon
Recipe 🍳
- Prepare a shallow bowl of water enough to submerge the tough chuck eye roll, and dissolve the baking soda in it.
- Place the meat in the baking soda water, lightly coat both sides, and let it sit for about 20 minutes to tenderize the texture.
- After 20 minutes, remove the meat and rinse thoroughly under running water to remove any remaining soda and its characteristic smell.
- Pat the meat dry with paper towels, then season evenly with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
- Heat a pan over high heat, place the seasoned meat in the pan, and sear both sides until golden brown to finish.
- Soak the beef in baking soda water for 20 minutes.
- Rinse under running water, then season with salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
- Sear the meat in a hot pan until golden brown on both sides.
Cooking tips 💡
- If not rinsed thoroughly after soaking in baking soda, the meat may retain a bitter, soapy taste, so rinse well under running water.
- Adding plenty of minced garlic and pepper completely masks any gamey smell and maximizes flavor.
- When selecting chuck eye roll, choose the piece that is closer to the ribeye and has a hollow appearance for better marbling and inherently better taste.
