Low and slow = tender. Just did lamb shanks 4 hours at 300 under a gallon of wine, beef and veal stock. Silly tender and delicious.

Beer? I could never figure it out either.

I prefer the diet Dr. Pepper as I am diabetic. Some prefer the Coke, especially if I use the Cola that from Mexico. It is made with cane sugar rather than corn syrup and it seems o cook down thicker & sweeter. I am nothing if not accommodating to my friends.

And yes, low & slow is the way to go!

and I've heard coca cola is the best tenderizer going???? but I aint' putting it on my steaks

Mike I did a search and beer is one of the best.

Beer: Great for adding flavor but beer also contains alpha acids and tannins so it’s a workhorse when it comes to tenderizing meats. Marinate for at least an hour before grilling.

Cola: Marinate steak in Coke (not diet) for a minimum of 30 minutes and up to 24 hours. Why does it work? The acid content.
