Chef's Notes
Treat your marinade like a sacred potion. The balance of calamansi citrus and salty soy sauce is the beating heart of this magnificent dish.
Pro Tip
Do not skip the baking soda massage! It is the secret weapon that transforms ordinary beef into melt-in-your-mouth royalty.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Leaving the baking soda on the meat a minute too long without rinsing will gift you a soapy, metallic disaster fit only for the royal dungeon.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Our royal kitchen uses baking soda to tenderize the beef, because frankly, at this age, the only thing we want to chew on with difficulty is our responsibilities.
The Culinary Science
Baking soda creates an alkaline environment on the surface of the meat, which prevents proteins from bonding too tightly and keeps your steak exceptionally tender.

Meat Moisture Retention Protocol
Storage Science
Store in an airtight container in the coldest part of the refrigerator along with any cooking juices or sauces to maintain moisture. Consume within 3-4 days.
Reheating Science
Reheat gently in the oven at 300°F (150°C) or on the stovetop over low heat. Add a splash of broth or water and cover tightly to steam. This prevents the proteins from constricting and squeezing out their juices.
