Cooking for 2 people

Ingredients

  • 2 8-oz. boneless pork chops
  • 2 tbsp. pork seasoning or rub
  • 1 tbsp. oil
  • 1 cup ice
  • 12 oz. ginger ale

Brine

  • 2 cup cold water
  • .25 cup kosher salt
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tbsp. peppercorns
  • .25 cup peeled fresh ginger chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled

1 Food Prep

  • Combine your brine ingredients in a saucepan. Bring your mixture to a boil and stir until all of the salt is dissolved. Allow it to cool, then add your ice and ginger ale.

  • Place your pork chops into the brine and allow it to soak it for 6-24 hours in the fridge.

3 The Cook

  • Place a temperature probe into the thickest part of your boneless pork chop, making sure to not to touch the bone, and set the pork chop on your pellet grill. 

  • Smoke until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 100°F. This should take about 45 minutes.

  • Increase the heat on your pellet grill to 425°F and once it’s at temp, cook your pork chops until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F. This should only take a few minutes. 

  • Remove your pork chops from the grill and allow them to rest for 10 minutes, then serve.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great Chops, Bad Recipe These are wonderful chops, juicy and tender. I added a little bite of heat with the rub (red pepper flakes). But the recipe is confusing as steps 4 & 5 reference a different cut of meat..
