These tender and juicy pork chops are marinated in a sweet and tangy root beer glaze, then grilled to perfection. The combination of the caramelized glaze and the smoky grill flavors adds a unique twist to the classic pork chops. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables and enjoy a hearty and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in pork chops
  • 1 cup root beer
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the root beer, soy sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, garlic, black pepper, and salt.
  2. Place the pork chops in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

  5. Grill the pork chops for 4-5 minutes per side, basting with the marinade occasionally, until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
  6. Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
  7. Serve the root beer pork chops with your choice of side dishes and enjoy!
