Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz. Amber Ale
  • 1 jalapeno finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 lime zested & juiced
  • 4 bone in pork chops or other

Method
 

  1. Add all of the ingredients into a mixing bowl and whisk until well combined.
  2. Place the pork chops into a shallow pan or zip-lock bag and pour the marinade over the pork chops. If you use dish, flip the pork chops after adding the liquid so everything is covered.
  3. Then refrigerate until ready to cook. I suggest at least one hour but 4-6 hours is better.
  4. Grill, smoke, or sear the pork chops with your method of choice. I suggest smoking them and then searing them. Cook until 145 degrees F.
