Sodium bicarbonate, also known by its common name of baking soda, is a weak alkali. By itself it does nothing, but when it is mixed with water it is mildly caustic and it will react to any acid. Since meat is made up of amino acids it will react to baking soda. As a result it will tenderize the meat.
