      It will tenderize it but a lack of fat in cheap cuts means the only benefit you get is a sweet aftertaste and tender shredded pieces of beef.
      You might as well turn them into coca cola marinated beef jerky since jerky requires you to use lean and very low fat cuts to make.
      Cola is very useful for marinating large cuts of pork, so you don't need a smoker to slow cook it since the coke will tenderize it.
      Alternatively instead of using cola, use fitzer water or carbonated water for the acid level, but not the sugar level.

    I tried it twice. They weren't kidding, the sweetness is very apparent, but still good. 6 hours was enough to be very tender, but I dont think I'd want to eat steak that sweet very often. So the second time, I rinsed the stake off with water....pretty thoroughly. It helped cut down the sweetness a lot. I also followed up both with some corse salt and dehydrated garlic seasoning. Definitely recommend

    • @flamerollerx01

    • @jordanc8499
      @jordanc8499 2 роки тому +31

      @@flamerollerx01 theres a reason people use coke instead of pepsi to clean blood off the hwy. Coke has a high phosphoric acid content and that's what's breaking down the meat. Not sure off-brand would work as well... worth a try if you can eat the cost of the steak that might not turn out.
      FYI - I did it again and really rinsed it off, running my fingers over the steak and in the cracks and crevices. Almost no sweet taste after that.

    • @flamerollerx01
      @flamerollerx01 2 роки тому +5

      @@jordanc8499 Good to know. Who knows about off brands, some of them could even work better, but I have no evidence for that. I do know that diet Shasta (available for certain in CA, definitely not available in TN. Elsewhere I don't know specifically) is far stronger tasting than diet coke, so perhaps it's more acid? Anyway, I am curious, how did that steak taste as far as beefiness? I would expect it to be less beefy and that's something to consider. Would beefier, but also sweeter be better? How might that interact with sweet sauces? I know many people refuse to use sauce with steak and that's fine, but I for one very much like sweet meat, primarily delivered by a sweet bbq sauce. I recently tried something that seemed crazy, but it worked out incredibly well. It wasn't steak, but a large pork chop and I seasoned it with salt, msg and curry powder! I have never had such a delicious pork chop in my life. I fried it in a pan to well done. I suspect results would differ greatly with steak, but maybe try it with some cheap eye round? That way you don't waste a good piece if you don't like the taste of the curry powder, or just do what I did and try it with a pork chop. I know I'll be using curry powder on meat again!

    I have always used soda (Coke/Pepsi) for marinades. One of my favorites for pork and chicken is a mix of teriyaki, ginger sesame, orange marmalade and orange Sunkist soda. Love to baste boneless chicken thighs on the grille with it after they've marinaded in it over night. That soda really lets all those flavors penetrate the meat.

    While this was interesting and confirms things a lot of us have tried, doing it with a GOOD steak doesn't really work beyond novelty values. Of course it's still good after an hour, and for personal preferences beyond that... I've used this extensively with stir fry dishes with cheaper cuts on small pieces and it's excellent with 15 min room temp or up to an an hour or so cold in fridge. I'd like you to use this on OTHER cheaper steaks or even NON steaks. Carve up some chuck. rump and other cheaper cuts to different sizes and see how this improves the taste, and of course tenderness. Make enough extra to chop/grind/cuisinart perhaps (?) some of the beef into hamburger, or use in stews and stir frys. I've done some of this myself but won't give away the results so you can Guga !

    @stephensano9156 2 роки тому +3

    I definitely think along with sweet Coke cola as a brine, you should add salt, bitter as in lemon peel or coffee grounds, and sour (vinegar, lemon) to balance the sweetness as chefs do. The final product will taste more natural to the palate. This would be a good test for equal parts flavor and tenderness. Also, a marinade after brining could include good quality beef stock to bring back more beefy flavors lost during the fat rendering (tenderizing).

Cream cheese is more of a thing we would mix with a more vinegary sauce like franks hot sauce. Either way, your suggestion would certainly work, but many would prefer the subtle saltyness of mayo compared to cream cheese, which can be quite rich tasting.

    If you do leave it in there for a week you're going to need to change the Coke out because the acid will have reacted and there will be none left after around 24 hours ironically, unless of course you do a massive container full of it then you wouldn't.
