A flavorful and juicy pork chop recipe enhanced with a beer-based brine and aromatic rub.
Combine the water, beer, brown sugar, molasses, and salt in a large bowl to create the brine.
Ensure the sugar and salt are fully dissolved for an even brine.
Place the pork chops in the brine, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
For best results, brine the pork chops overnight for maximum flavor.
Mix the minced garlic, ground black pepper, fresh sage, and smoked paprika in a small bowl to create the rub.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preferences.
Remove the pork chops from the brine and pat them dry with paper towels. Apply the rub evenly on both sides of each chop.
Ensure the pork chops are dry before applying the rub for better adherence.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the pork chops for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they reach your desired doneness.
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for perfect doneness.
Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your flavorful and juicy pork chops!
Resting the meat allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy bite.
