This is one of those cooks where I thought I would impress everyone with the amazing pork chop brine that I developed.\u00a0 Instead, it turns out that the real star of the show was the amazing glaze my wife made for these smoked pork chops.<\/p>\n

That’s okay, as long as the chops were extraordinary it doesn’t matter who developed the better recipe!<\/p>\n

\"Pineapple

I actually came up with the idea for this recipe when a friend told me he had bought some pork chops and asked for a different way to prepare them.<\/p>\n

Usually I soak pork chops in the same marinade for pork steaks<\/a> that is a favorite in our house.\u00a0 However, I know my buddy loves beer and likes to keep things simple.\u00a0 So I thought, why not just devour them with beer from beginning to end?<\/p>\n

I brined these in beer all day, then sprayed them with beer while cooking.\u00a0 I have to say – they turned out WAY better than I thought they would!\u00a0 Some don’t like too strong a taste in beer in their food, but I think you’ll be surprised by the mild flavor these provide.<\/p>\n

\"Grilling

Of course, what took these smoked pork chops<\/a> over the top was the spectacular pineapple glaze that my wife developed.\u00a0 The combination of the sweet, sugary pineapple and the bitter beer with some smoke is perfect.\u00a0 All palates will be happy.<\/p>\n

This glaze would be equally as awesome on Grilled Pork Steaks<\/a>!<\/p>\n
