Ginger Beer and Mustard Grilled Pork Chops
Thin-cut pork chops bursting with flavor from a marinade of ginger beer, garlic, mustard, and honey. Sugar from the ginger beer helps create the ideal caramelization on the grill. Extra points for picture-perfect crosshatches!

- 10 cloves garlic grated (if using an immersion blender, grating not necessary)
- ¾ cup Dijon mustard
- ¾ cup honey
- ¾ cup ginger beer one small bottle
- 2 tsp kosher salt Diamond Crystal. Or 1 ¼ of Morton Kosher Salt

- 1.5 lbs boneless center-cut pork chops ¼ to ½ inch thick (about 10)

- Prepare a grill for medium high heat, oil grates with vegetable oil.
