To tenderize a pork loin or pork butt, put 1 gallon cold water , 1 can of regular Pepsi, Coke, or any dark soda, and 1/2 cup table salt in a large enough container to hold the meat. Add garlic and your seasonings. Put the pork into the mixture and marinate overnight. Roast the pork on a rack at 350 degrees F until meat thermometer registers 165 degrees F.

I don't care to use the chemicals
and sugars in dark sodas. Cordon Bleu didn't teach other methods of tenderizing tough meat cuts?
I have friends who went to Paris Cordon Bleu and they said they were never taught this technique. Interesting....
