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.

01 Step
Recipe View In a medium bowl, whisk together the beer, red wine vinegar, dark corn syrup, prepared mustard, minced garlic, dried sage, salt, and black pepper until well combined. (5 minutes)
02 Step
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)
04 Step
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)
05 Step
Recipe View Remove the pork chops and onions from the marinade. Strain the marinade through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the solids. Reserve the strained garlic mixture. Discard the liquid marinade. (5 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Spread the reserved garlic mixture evenly over the pork chops. Wrap the sliced onions in aluminum foil to create a foil packet. (3 minutes)
07 Step
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.
