Here is another one of my Cooking With Beer recipes. I made this for dinner last night and it was awesome! My husband loved the sauce and the chops turned out very tender and tasty. And it didn’t take too long to prepare, you just have to get the chops ready few hours ahead of time, since marinating them makes the difference.
The beer I used is another brand from our local Brick Brewing Company – I like to support local businesses. The recipe calls for lager beer, so I chose Red Baron brand.
Grilled Pork Chops with Lager-Infused Sauce:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of Lager beer

- 3-4 (ideal is about 1 inch thick) centre cut pork chops
- 3/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
Directions:
1. Combine lager, maple syrup, molasses, chili powder and pork chops in a resealable food storage bag and refrigerate for about 2 hours, turning occasionally.
2. Â Next – get your grill nice and hot and after your pork chops finished marinating, get ready to cook them!
3. Lightly oil the grill, remove chops from the marinade and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
4. Place on the grill, directly over heat source.
5. Grill about 7 minutes per side or until chops are well marked (if you want to use meat thermometer to check, the temperature should show 150F.
