Lager-Marinated Grilled Pork Chops

lager beer

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic beer

💰Cheaper: light beer

Non-alcoholic beer reduces alcohol content while maintaining flavor.

brown sugar

🥗Healthier: coconut sugar

💰Cheaper: white sugar

Coconut sugar offers a lower glycemic index.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is often less expensive and works well for grilling.

Combine lager beer, garlic, brown sugar, black pepper, and salt in a bowl to create the marinade.

Place pork chops in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.

Pour marinade over the pork chops, ensuring they are well coated.

Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Remove pork chops from the marinade and discard the marinade.

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to promote browning.

Season the chops with additional salt and black pepper if desired.

Place the pork chops on the grill and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F.

Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
