Ingredients: 5 tablespoons soy sauce; 1/4 cup ketchup; 3 tablespoons white vinegar; 3 tablespoons chili sauce; 3 tablespoons sugar; 2 teaspoons salt; 1/8 teaspoon pepper; 3 garlic cloves, minced; 2 cans (12 ounces each) lemon-lime soda; 2 pounds pork tenderloin, cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch strips

The secret to our juicy grilled pork strips is lemon-lime soda, which caramelizes as the meat cooks.

Ingredients

5 tablespoons soy sauce

1/4 cup ketchup

3 tablespoons white vinegar

3 tablespoons chili sauce

3 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 cans (12 ounces each) lemon-lime soda

2 pounds pork tenderloin, cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch strips

Instructions

1 Marinate the pork

2 In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, ketchup, white vinegar, chili sauce, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic and lemon-lime soda. Place the pork in a heavy resealable plastic bag and add the marinade. Seal the bag and turn to coat the pork. Refrigerate it overnight.

3 Grill the pork

4 Drain and discard the marinade. Thread the pork onto metal or soaked wooden skewers. Grill the skewers over hot heat for 12 minutes, turning once. Editor's Tip: Soaking the wooden skewers is key to preventing them from burning on the grill. Soak them in water for at least 20 minutes and up to two hours before grilling.
