BEER BRINED GRILLED PORK CHOPS

Yields: 6 Servings


Brining the chops makes them moist.
2 cups water
2 cups dark lager beer
1/4 cup coarse salt
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar firmly packed
3 tablespoons mild-flavored (light) molasses
1 cup ice cubes
6 1- 1 1/4-inch-thick center-cut bone-in pork chops

7 large garlic cloves minced
3 teaspoons coarsely ground black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons dried sage leaves

Combine 2 cups water, beer, 1/4 cup coarse salt, sugar, and molasses in large bowl. Stir until salt and sugar dissolve. Stir in ice. Place pork chops in large re-sealable plastic bag. Pour beer brine over pork chops; seal bag. Refrigerate 4 hours, turning bag occasionally.

Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat). Remove pork chops from beer brine; pat dry. Mix garlic, pepper, 2 teaspoons salt, and sage in small bowl. Rub garlic mixture over both sides of pork chops. Grill pork chops until instant-read thermometer inserted into center of chops registers 145°F to 150°F, about 10 minutes per side, occasionally moving chops to cooler part of rack if burning. Transfer chops to platter; cover with foil, and let stand 5 minutes.

My favorite way to do pork chops is to marinate in some vermouth, then grill with a sprinkle of salt and dill weed. Easy and tasty.
