Thanks! I am unlikely to ever make soda, but i think this kind of
recipe is cool.

Do you know the difference between Mexican Coke and Original Coke?

Nothing specific. Mexican Coke tastes the way I remember the Coke for my
youth used to taste. But other than the containers being sized in mL vs
Oz I haven't a clew.

Also, i've noticed some recipes have a caret (^) symbol at the end
of the title. Do you know what this means?

I have no earthly idea unless it's a recipe entered/posted by Carolyn
Shaw. Her recipes *always* had that symbol. I think t was an identity
tag or it helped her sort her MM base for *her* recipes.

These days, Mexican soda uses real cane sugar instead of HFCS commonly used here in the US.

For the first time in over 40 years, Coca-Cola is bringing back a cane sugar–sweetened version of its iconic soda to the U.S. this fall. The
move marks a nostalgic shift for the beverage giant, which famously
replaced real sugar with high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in the early
1980s due to rising costs. Now, amid growing consumer demand for
simpler, more natural ingredients, Coke’s return to cane sugar taps into
both retro appeal and modern wellness trends.

Title: Russian Beef Stroganoff
Categories: Beef, Stews, Mushrooms, Dairy, Pasta
Yield: 6 Servings

1 1/2 lb Chuck or round steak;
- boneless
3 tb Flour
1 ts Salt
2 tb Oil
1/2 c Onion; fine chopped
1 cl Garlic; minced
1/2 c Coca-Cola
1/4 c Water
2 tb Flour
1/2 c Water
1 tb Worcestershire sauce
4 oz Can mushrooms w/liquid
1 c Sour cream
2 tb Parsley; minced
Mashed potatoes, noodles,

Cut beef into 1/2" strips; put in a plastic bag with 3
tablespoons of flour and the salt. Shake until the meat

In a heavy skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil/shortening,
add the meat strips and brown slowly, stirring often.
Add onion, garlic, Coca-Cola, and 1/4 cup of water; mix
well. Cover and simmer 30 to 45 minutes or until the
meat is fork-tender.

In a bowl, mix the 2 tablespoons of flour with the 1/2
cup of water until smooth. Stir into the meat along with
the Worcestershire sauce and the undrained mushrooms.
Stir and cook until thickened, 2 - 3 minutes. (If making
ahead for reheating later, do not add the sour cream now.
Reheat, then complete the recipe directions.)

Stir in the sour cream and heat gently just until the
gravy simmers. Sprinkle with parsley and serve over
potatoes, noodles, or rice.
