Beer Chops: A Delicious and Easy American Recipe

Beer chops are a mouthwatering dish that combines the flavors of juicy pork chops and rich beer. This recipe adds a unique twist to a classic American dish, creating a flavorful and tender result. The pork chops are marinated in a beer-based marinade, which helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with wonderful flavors. They are then grilled to perfection, creating a caramelized crust on the outside and a juicy and tender center. Beer chops are perfect for a casual weeknight dinner or a backyard barbecue with friends and family.

Ingredients

• 4 bone-in pork chops
• 1 bottle of your favorite beer
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the beer, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, black pepper, paprika, and dried thyme. Whisk until the brown sugar has dissolved.
2. Place the pork chops in a shallow container or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the pork chops, making sure they are fully immersed. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the pork chops from the marinade and discard the marinade.
4. Grill the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
5. Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the chops even juicier.
6. Serve the beer chops hot with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
7. Enjoy your delicious beer chops!
