Cola Marinated Steak
Originally this recipe called for marinating the steak in beer. I had created it for a TV appearance around Father's day and I was trying to combine two of Dad's favorite things. The night before the segment, the producer called me and said I couldn't use beer. So off to the grocery store to try something else. Walking down the soda aisle I saw cola and thought, hmm. It also works on chicken and pork although it's best on steak.
This has become my most popular recipe due to the contrast of the sweet soda and spicy rub. You can make it on the grill or in a frying pan
