Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 25 mins Ready Time: 4 hrs 40 mins


• score steaks on both sides in a diamond pattern using a sharp knife. punch the fatty areas with the tip of the knife. sprinkle a thin coating of garlic powder over both sides of the steaks, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. rub to get the seasoning into all of the scores.
• place steaks in a shallow dish, and pour the cola over them. cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours, turning steaks over every hour or so. during the last hour, coat the steaks with a thin layer of barbeque sauce.
• preheat an outdoor grill for high heat.
• lightly oil the grilling surface. place steaks on the grill over high heat, and cook until almost burnt on each side, about 4 minutes per side. reduce the grill's heat to medium-low, or move steaks to a cooler part, and place the bacon strips on top of them. cover, and slow cook for 10 minutes per side.
• spread a thin layer of barbeque sauce over the steaks during the last few minutes of cooking, and allow it to cook until dry for a glazed effect.
