FAQS
What is the best way to marinate beef steak for maximum flavor?
For maximum flavor, marinate your beef steak in a mixture of soy sauce, calamansi, baking soda, and ground black pepper for at least 1 hour. For the best results, consider marinating it overnight to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat.
Can I use a different type of meat instead of beef sirloin for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute beef sirloin with other cuts like flank steak or ribeye. If you're looking for a leaner option, chicken breast or pork tenderloin can also work well, but keep in mind that cooking times may vary.
How should I store leftover beef steak after cooking?
To store leftover beef steak, let it cool to room temperature, then place it in an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing it, where it can last for up to 3 months.
What side dishes pair well with beef steak marinated in soy sauce and calamansi?
Beef steak marinated in soy sauce and calamansi pairs beautifully with steamed rice, garlic fried rice, or a fresh garden salad. You can also serve it with grilled vegetables or mashed potatoes for a hearty meal.
Is this beef steak recipe suitable for a gluten-free diet?
This beef steak recipe is not gluten-free due to the soy sauce. However, you can easily make it gluten-free by substituting regular soy sauce with tamari or a gluten-free soy sauce alternative.
