Time 12h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (12 ounce) can beer
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons dark corn syrup
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
4 large cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 small onion, cut into thick slices
8 (1-inch thick) center-cut pork chops

Steps:

  • Whisk the beer, wine vinegar, corn syrup, mustard, garlic, sage, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the onion and pork chops, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h45m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 bone-in, or boneless pork chops, about 2 pounds total
4 cups apple cider
2 cups oatmeal stout or other dark beer
1/2 cup kosher salt
1/2 cup raw sugar
1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder
2 cups apple cider
1 1/2 apples (Pink Lady, Honey Crisps, or Cameo) cored and sliced 1/4-inch thick, grilled, about 1 minute each side, and diced
1 tablespoon mesquite honey
1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Red Chili Caramelized Pecans, recipe follows
1/2 pound white cane sugar
1/4 cup water
1 pound whole pecans
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon red chili powder

Steps:

  • For the brine:
  • Combine all ingredients in a large container with a tight fitting lid.
  • Take the pork chops and insert a fillet knife into the side of each pork chop. Create a 2-inch slice along the side moving your knife along the inside of the chop creating a pocket. Be careful not to pierce the outer sides of the chop. Place the pork chops in the brine for anywhere from 1 hour or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
  • For the reduction:
  • Add the cider to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook the cider, skimming off any scum that comes to the surface, until is becomes syrupy and is reduced to about 1/4 cup.
  • For the stuffing:
  • Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl.
  • Preheat grill to high.
  • Remove the pork chops from the brine, rinse and pat dry with paper towels. Stuff the cavity with the apples and grill for about 10 minutes on each side. Remove from grill to a serving platter and let rest for about 10 minutes. Brush with the cider reduction, sprinkle with the chopped caramelized pecans and enjoy!
  • In a heavy-bottomed pot, cook the sugar and water until the temperature reaches 275 degrees F on a candy thermometer. Add the pecans and stir to coat with the sugar. Once the sugar begins to caramelize add the vanilla extract and stir gently but constantly until fully caramelized. Pour onto a silpat lined baking sheet to let cool, then sprinkle with the red chili powder.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, choose thick-cut pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick.
  • Make sure to brine the pork chops for at least 4 hours, or up to overnight. This will help to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the pork chops in a grill pan over medium-high heat.
  • Be sure to preheat your grill or grill pan before cooking the pork chops. This will help to prevent them from sticking.
  • Cook the pork chops for 8-10 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through. An instant-read thermometer should read 145 degrees Fahrenheit when inserted into the thickest part of the chop.
  • Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to keep them juicy.

Conclusion:

Beer-brined grilled pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout. The beer brine helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor, while the grilling gives the pork chops a nice smoky flavor. Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
