Notes
Generally, we prefer high-quality cuts that cook quickly. For example, rump steak, sirloin, or whiting. However, the (optional) baking soda technique described in the recipe allows you to use any cut. Be careful with the first step, using too much baking soda can change the taste of the meat in a bad way. If you're not sure you can measure the quantities correctly, skip this step
