How to Make Cola Marinade

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together cola, soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped onion, and black pepper until the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Add your chosen meat to the marinade, ensuring it's fully coated.
  3. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for optimal flavor).
  4. Preheat your grill, oven, or prepare your slow cooker according to your chosen cooking method.
  5. Remove the meat from the marinade and discard the marinade (unless using a slow cooker, then add it to the pot).
  6. Cook the meat to your desired internal temperature. For grilling, cook over medium heat until cooked through; For baking, roast in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until cooked through; For slow cooking, cook on low for 6-8 hours or until tender.
  7. Once cooked, let the meat rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
