Coca-Cola Steak Tip Marinade

Chris and I had the most amazing grilled steak tips ever the other day prepared by our friends Meghan and Tom. After one delicious bite I was hooked, and proceeded to rave about them for the rest of the evening. Thankfully they were kind enough to share the recipe for the marinade. These fabulous steak tips are so delicious due to an eclectic combination of Coca-Cola (what?!), BBQ sauce, Italian dressing, Teriyaki, and olive oil. Apparently Coca-Cola is used pretty commonly as a meat tenderizer. I had no idea!

To make enough marinade for 1 pound of steak tips you will need:
3 oz – Coca-Cola
4 oz – BBQ sauce
2 oz – Italian Dressing
1 tsp – Teriyaki Sauce
1 tsp – Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper

I would recommend marinading your tips overnight in this mixture. In addition, they’ll taste so much better if you have access to an honest to goodness outdoor grill. Since I prepared mine on a grill pan I really missed the addition of the smoky flavor. Unfortunately gas grills are persona non grada in our apartment complex so a girl has to do what a girl has to do. I served my tips with zucchini and whipped cauliflower.
