How to Make Coca Cola Steak Fajita Marinade

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Coca-Cola, lime juice, soy sauce, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the sliced steak to a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring all pieces are coated.
  3. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, turning the steak occasionally to ensure even marinating.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  5. Grill the steak for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or longer to your desired doneness.
  6. Remove the steak from the grill, let it rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly against the grain.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite fajita toppings like bell peppers, onions, tortillas, and your favorite salsa.
