Ingredients

  • 4 thick cut pork chops bone-in preferred
  • 1 tablespoon of your favorite BBQ seasoning or rub
  • 1 cup beer brought to room temperature
  • ½ cup of your favorite BBQ sauce

Instructions

  • Rub the pork chops with your favorite seasoning 4 to 8 hours before cooking.  Keep the chops refrigerated until half hour before cooking.
  • Preheat gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Sear chops about 1 to 2 minutes on each side with lid closed. Make sure they have nice sear marks.
  • Turn grill heat down to medium. Pour beer over the chops.
  • Cook the chops for 3 to 5 minutes on one side then baste with half the barbecue sauce.
  • Flip over chops and cook for 4 to 7 more minutes or until meat thermometer reaches 145 degrees when placed in center of chop.
  • Baste with remaining barbecue sauce.
  • Remove to a plate and cover with aluminum foil.
  • Let the chops rest for 3 minutes. Makes 4 servings.

Notes

Tips:
  1. I prefer to use thicker bone-in center cut chops for this recipe. Thin boneless pork chops tend to dry out quickly when cooked on a grill. 
  2. Let the chops come to room temperature before cooking. This will help you to maintain even cooking for super juicy pork chips.
  3. For best results, I like to coat my charcoal or gas grill grate with a little bit of olive oil before heating it. This will make sure that the chops do not stick.
