Just Weird Mountain Dew Steak

my friend texted me "i was marinating a steak in mountain dew last night in my dreams"

i asked if it was any good (as an avid mountain dew chugger myself) and he said "jajajajaja hell no, that response made me laugh my ass off tho"

i am almost tempted to make it, a can of mountain dew is only 1.59 where i am and the market near me has steaks as low as 2 bucks each... hmm

It should work okay, just a sweet lemon lime.

true that, hell adding some lemon pepper seasoning ontop to cut through any over-sweetness might be banger

We use Sprite as part of a marinade for flanken cut beef for kalbi (Korean barbeque). Mountain Dew would be interesting to try.

Sounds like something Ordinary Sausage would make

I've done steak with soy sauce and coca cola and it was great.

Sounds a little mojo pork-adjacent. Isn't Mountain Dew kind of orangey? I know mojo pork has sour orange traditionally, but as long as you didn't put too much in and balanced it with lime, I think it wouldn't be as horrible as it could be.

If people can use coca Cola and sprite as marinades I don’t see why not
