Prepare the Meat: Trim any excess fat from the meat and cut it into the desired size and shape.
Create the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the Coca-Cola with salt, pepper, and any other herbs or spices you like. Mix well to combine.
Marinate the Meat: Place the meat in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the Coca-Cola mixture over the meat, ensuring it's fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap.
Refrigerate: Allow the meat to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. For tougher cuts of meat, you may want to marinate for up to 24 hours.
Cook as Desired: Remove the meat from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. You can then grill, roast, pan-fry, or cook the meat as you normally would.
Optional Sauce: If you want to make a sauce, you can reduce the remaining marinade by simmering it in a saucepan until it thickens. Make sure to boil it for at least 2 minutes to kill any bacteria from the raw meat.
Serve: Serve the meat hot with your favorite side dishes.
