Recipe View Place the pork chops and onion slices into a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the beer brine over the pork chops and onions, ensuring they are fully submerged. Squeeze out any excess air, seal the bag tightly, and gently massage the marinade into the pork. (2 minutes)

03 Step

Recipe View Refrigerate the bag for at least 12 hours, or up to 24 hours, flipping the bag occasionally to ensure even marinating. (12-24 hours)

Recipe View Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat (about 350-400°F or 175-200°C) and lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking. (10 minutes)

Recipe View Place the foil packet of onions and the marinated pork chops on the preheated grill. Grill the pork chops for approximately 7 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Use a meat thermometer to ensure accurate doneness. Grill the onion packet for a similar duration, flipping occasionally, until softened. (14 minutes)

08 Step

Recipe View Remove the pork chops and onion packet from the grill. Let the pork chops rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop. Serve the grilled pork chops with the softened grilled onions.

For a deeper flavor, consider using a robust porter or stout beer.
If you don't have dark corn syrup, you can substitute it with honey or maple syrup, but it will slightly alter the flavor profile.
Don't over-marinate the pork chops, as the acid in the beer and vinegar can start to break down the proteins, resulting in a mushy texture.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels before grilling to achieve a nice sear and prevent steaming.
Adjust grilling time based on the thickness of your pork chops.

    Next time, I think I'll try using a different type of beer to see how it changes the flavor. Thanks for the great recipe!
