Title: Beer Pork Chops
Ingredients:
– 4 bone-in pork chops
– 1 cup dark beer
– 1/3 cup soy sauce
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the dark beer, soy sauce, minced garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk well until the marinade is fully blended.
2. Place the pork chops in a shallow glass dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the beer marinade over the chops, ensuring they are completely coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor infusion.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the pork chops from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and reserve the marinade for basting.
4. Grill the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or up to 160°F (71°C) for well-done chops.
5. Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures a juicy and tender bite.
6. Before serving, sprinkle the Beer Pork Chops with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Pair them with your favorite side dishes like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh garden salad.
7. Serve the Beer Pork Chops hot off the grill and enjoy the delightful combination of tender meat with the flavors of the beer-infused marinade. Your family and friends are sure to be impressed with this delicious and easy-to-make recipe.
