Tweet ThisEMC Lifestyle - Make a bold statement with your marinades this summer: add beer.
Just the right brew adds flavour and will also help tenderize the meat you are grilling.
Take a look for example at the Rickard's family of beer, which offers three variants red, white and now dark. Each has a distinct flavour that works well in a variety of "beerinades" from fish and vegetables to poultry and red meat.
Grill expert Brian Misko of the award winning, Vancouver-based House of Q knows a thing or two about the art of "beerinades".
He suggests marinating pork in a Rickard's Red infused beer brine before hitting the grill to bring-out the succulent, juicy characteristics of the pork.
Recipe serves four.
Ingredients:
3-4 pork chops
1 bottle Rickard's Red beer
2-3 tbsp molasses
1-2 tbsp Kosher salt
Salt / pepper or BBQ rub
-Mix the beer, salt and molasses until dissolved.
-Immerse the pork chops into the liquid and refrigerate for 2-4 hours. Remove, rinse and dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt and pepper or barbecue rub.
-Grill pork chops on direct high heat for about 3-5 minutes and turn once colour has been set. Grill the other side and then move to a cooler spot on your grill until done.
-Rest for five minutes. Devour pork chops with grilled sweet potatoes, sautéed apples and a refreshing pint of Rickard's Red.
