Tips:

  • To make sure the pork or beef is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also cook the pork or beef until it is no longer pink in the center.
  • To make the cherry cola glaze, be sure to use a cherry cola that you enjoy the taste of. The glaze will take on the flavor of the soda, so it's important to choose one that you like.
  • If you want a thicker glaze, you can simmer it for longer. Just be careful not to overcook it, or it will become too thick and syrupy.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled to feed a larger crowd.

This cherry cola roast pork or beef is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork or beef is cooked in a flavorful cherry cola glaze, and it is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or a salad.
