I used diet soda and cut back the brown sugar to 1/4 cup (my husband is diabetic), and this was still far too sweet for our taste. I also had a problem with the butter. I added the melted butter, but I needed to marinate the meat for several hours, which meant refrigeration. When refrigerated, the butter separated from the rest of the marinade and rose to the top. The meat wasn't particularly tender, either. There isn't enough acid (vinegar in this case) to tenderize the meat. I probably won't be making this one again.

I made this marinade for pork tenderloin yesterday. Didn't have lemon-lime soda, so I substituted regular cola and cooked the pork with the marinade in my pressure cooker. The whole family loved it.. we'll definitely be using it again!!

Very yummy! I used it on pork country ribs, marinated in fridge for around 4 days! It was on the sweet side, but not too sweet for us. Super delish!

great marinade; we liked that it is a little bit sweet. Easy to fix. Next time I might set some aside from the original for use after the chops are done.

Indeed It was sweet. What I did to counteract the sweetness was put a shot of jack daniels in it, and used a little less brown sugar. What I've come to find out is that using a little whiskey or more vinegar gives the meat an edge, and allows, in my opinion, for the marinade to soak in a little better. I'm not a great chef by any means, but that's what I usually do. I found the Soda an intriguing aspect of the marinade. might I also suggest a small dose of soy sauce in the marinade?

Loved this marinade! Didn't have any steak sauce so used chili sauce instead. I was also out of red wine vinegar so I used white wine vinegar instead. Marinated a 2 lb pork loin for about 5 hours & then grilled over indirect heat for an hour. Fantastic!! Definitely making this again.
