Beer, pork…hello? How can that not equal good? The other morning I set out with a package of frozen boneless pork rib eyes and knew that I didn’t want to do our normal grilling (grill with Cavender’s seasoning) and wondered what I could come up with fast (I needed to leave for work in a matter of 5 minutes). These Beer Soaked Pork Chops seemed to come together on their own! I looked in my fridge and cupboards and decided what the heck, let’s give this a try!
Beer Soaked Pork Chops
Ingredients
- 2 Boneless Pork Chops
- 8 oz lime flavored beer
- garlic powder
- onion powder
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Pour the beer into a shallow dish and season with garlic and onion powder, salt, & pepper. Place pork chops in the mixture and allow to marinate for at least 5 hours.
- Grill to an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving
I don’t have any measurements on that recipe because well, I didn’t use any! So, I grabbed a can of Bud Light Lime. I’m sure you could use any other light lager you have in your house, but I also am sure that the lime flavor added something to the chops! I poured a portion of the can into a shallow dish (that had a lid). Then, I sprinkled the rest of the ingredients into the dish and mixed it all up! I would guess that I used 1/2-3/4 teaspoon of each! Finally, I placed my frozen ribeye pork chops into the dish and put the lid on it and left it on the counter. Yes, still frozen because that’s how well I planned ahead this week. I knew T would swing by through during the day and move them to the fridge.
Cooking the Pork Chops
When I got home I found out that T would be working later than expected and I contemplated what to do. You see, the electric switch on our grill went out some time ago. We’ve never bothered to fix it or replace the grill. T does the grilling and has an easy work around. I knew that the flavor of these pork chops would be lost if I baked or fried them, so outside I went to persevere. I know enough about grills to know where to stick the lighter, but our grill is just enough different that I was nervous.
Never fear…I got the grill lit, our house didn’t burn down, and I have all my original eyebrows! YAY for small victories in life, right?! I grilled those pork chops to what I considered perfection and enjoyed mine with a side of roasted broccoli! (You can find that recipe HERE!) T got home quite late and warmed his chop up in the microwave quick and much to our surprise it was still very juicy and tender!
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we did. It will definitely be one that we revisit this summer!
