diet root beer? that's an interesting combination, need2. I'm going to give this a try. I'm guessing the pineapple juice also helps to tenderize the steak as it marinates...?

Anything Acidic can be used to tenderize meat. Ie lemon,orange,grape fruit,and fruit like that.

Vinegar,cider,wine,and believe it or not the best tenderizers of all. DARK SODAS like coke,pepsi,Root bear,and jolt.

There is a reg recipe that almost every places uses. They all call it there special marinade. HA Italian dressing,BBQ sauce ,and coke or pepsi. They all use it in different variations.

Not only does it tenderize but if you totally cover the meat so its submerged completely in the stuff. The combination of ingredents keeps the meat good for weeks. And its dirt cheap to.

And this one really is best if you let it sit over night and grill the tips on a open flam.

grilled fresh pineapple on top would make it oh-soooo-good! I wish I had a bbq and a backyard. I love grilling outdoors when the weather starts warming up!
