This marinade is the perfect blend of sweet, tangy, and savory. I soaked four pork chops in it for 24 hours, then baked them and served with rice and veggies. So delicious! Will definitely make again.
I used real butter (melted) and all it did was curdle in the marinade. Did anyone else have trouble with this? My soda was room temp, as well all the other ingredients.
Rarely am I at a loss for words when it comes to food. But I am now. The only thing I can say is…WHERE HAS THIS MARINADE BEEN MY WHOLE COOKING LIFE!!. I used it with 1 inch thick bone in pork chops. Let them Marinate for 8hrs. Turned my gas grill on high and got the grates nice and hot. Placed the chops in center of of hot grill for 3min on each side giving them a nice beautiful grill sear. Then turned off the center grills and left the outer on high keeping pork on indirect heat and closed the lid. Let cook for 5 more minutes on each side. Turned off the heat completely. Rest on hot grill 5 more minutes. Removed to platter and let them rest on plate for 5 more minutes before serving. The were so juicy and perfect my family wanted seconds because they were that good. But they had to settle for just one chop tonight,even as big as they were. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
HOLY MOLY!! Is this marinade good! I have been using allrecipes for a very long time, but this is the first time that I have felt compelled to leave a review. My husband, four kids and I are meat and potato peeps (among many other foods) in the midwest. It is the way we were raised. I prefer marinating or brining meat before cooking and have used SO MANY different recipes, flavors and techniques in the past that I have lost track. Let me tell you that this has been, hands down, the most loved marinade in this family! I have just discovered this and in the last three weeks have used it four times. I use Key Lime juice (few tablespoons and a bit of water) in place of the soda because I have it on hand. KUDOS to Deb on such a wonderfully flavored marinade! Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m about to make this to put on chicken for dinner tomorrow night…..
I loved this recipe, i just used extra pepper. I used it on an 11lb pound pork roast, soacked for 24 hours. i smoked it using alder chips for 4 hours then wrappd in foil and bbq till it was done. Fan-freakin-tastic.
I used diet soda and cut back the brown sugar to 1/4 cup (my husband is diabetic), and this was still far too sweet for our taste. I also had a problem with the butter. I added the melted butter, but I needed to marinate the meat for several hours, which meant refrigeration. When refrigerated, the butter separated from the rest of the marinade and rose to the top. The meat wasn’t particularly tender, either. There isn’t enough acid (vinegar in this case) to tenderize the meat. I probably won’t be making this one again.
Excellent on chicken.
I made this marinade for pork tenderloin yesterday. Didn’t have lemon-lime soda, so I substituted regular cola and cooked the pork with the marinade in my pressure cooker. The whole family loved it.. we’ll definitely be using it again!!
Very yummy! I used it on pork country ribs, marinated in fridge for around 4 days! It was on the sweet side, but not too sweet for us. Super delish!
Great for red and white meat!
great marinade; we liked that it is a little bit sweet. Easy to fix. Next time I might set some aside from the original for use after the chops are done.
I have been using this marinade for years. It never fails. Wonderful on pork tenderloin and chicken.
Indeed It was sweet. What I did to counteract the sweetness was put a shot of jack daniels in it, and used a little less brown sugar. What I’ve come to find out is that using a little whiskey or more vinegar gives the meat an edge, and allows, in my opinion, for the marinade to soak in a little better. I’m not a great chef by any means, but that’s what I usually do. I found the Soda an intriguing aspect of the marinade. might I also suggest a small dose of soy sauce in the marinade?
Loved this marinade! Didn’t have any steak sauce so used chili sauce instead. I was also out of red wine vinegar so I used white wine vinegar instead. Marinated a 2 lb pork loin for about 5 hours & then grilled over indirect heat for an hour. Fantastic!! Definitely making this again.
It was ok but nothing too special.
Very Simple to make and great! Used on chicken tenderloins baked for about an hour, the family loved it!
I made this for pork steak and it was wonderful. I used beer instead of soda because it would have made it too sweet.
Awesome. There’s a real, old fashioned meat market a few miles from where I live. I pay about $40 for tri-tip marinated in something very similar to this. I’ll never have to pay that again!
Excellent for chicken
Anyone who has tasted any type of meat I marinate with this concoction ALWAYS comes back again and again asking me to make that dinner again. Huge hit with all 5 of my kids and all the strays they bring home with them. We never have leftovers … ever!! The only variation I use is 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil in place of the butter … just a healthier option for my family.
Yummy, I liked the recommendation to substitute the bok choy and the vegetable oil, easy to make and healthy too!
