Julesong...I enjoyed these so much!. They were delicious. I used round steak and the meat was very tender and soft after sitting in the baking soda mix. Mustard and balsalmic vinegar gave it a nice tang. Definitely will make again. I used blue cheese but will try the feta next time. Thank you! Catherine

Excellent. I made this for a quick meal after working in the yard all day. Served it with Spanish Rice. It's a keeper, and I will definitely make it again. The only thing I had to change was the amount of oil/butter used for browning. I had to add more. Thanks for making this available.

I was about to post this recipe but thank you for doing it. I haven't done the baking powder and water step and my copy had red wine vinegar instead of balsamic. My recipe was from Cooking Light June, 2000. I have made this many times. It is wonderful. Do try this great recipe!
