Como fazer Beer Brined Grilled Pork Chops
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups water, 1 cup beer (any kind you enjoy!), 1/4 cup kosher salt, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons molasses. Stir until salt and sugar are completely dissolved.
- Add 2 cups of ice to the brine and stir gently.
- Place the pork chops (about 1.5 inches thick, enough for 4 servings) in a large resealable plastic bag.
- Pour the beer brine over the pork chops, ensuring they are fully submerged. Seal the bag tightly, pressing out excess air.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight (8-12 hours), turning the bag occasionally to ensure even brining.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375-400°F).
- In a small bowl, combine 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon dried sage.
- Remove the pork chops from the brine, pat them dry with paper towels, and rub them generously with the garlic-herb mixture.
- Place the pork chops on the preheated grill. Grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) using a meat thermometer.
- Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest on a platter for 2-3 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in even more tender and flavorful chops.
