Anyone who knows me knows I am a huge Coca-Cola fan. I’m trying to do something about that but that’s another story for another day.
It’s fizzy. It’s sugary. It’s absolutely divine.
So . . . even I never thought of using good ‘ol Coke as a steak marinade. Who wouldda thunk?

HOME COOKING: Wacky but Wonderful Marinade for Steaks
From the sounds-awful-but-is-really-good files: [one reader] loves to marinate tougher cuts of steak in equal parts Italian salad dressing, ketchup, and Coca-Cola. He lets the steak soak in this mixture all day before grilling. [Another reader] tried it out, and says it’s both delicious and helps tenderize the meat (the latter’s due to the phosphoric acid in the Coke). She likes a little less Coke relative to the dressing and ketchup, and the addition of some Tabasco.
You can take a look at the entire article here. And have a Coke for me!
