Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Grill

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs. Bone-in Pork Chops We had 2 large pork chops
  • 1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ¼ cup Himalayan Pink Salt or other coarse salt
  • ½ cup Brown Sugar
  • ½ tbsp. Whole Peppercorns
  • ½ tbsp. Ground Mustard
  • 2 cloves Garlic, peeled and torn
  • 4 - 5 Sage Leaves
  • 2 cups Ice Cubes

Instructions
 

Make the Brine

  • In a prep bowl or mixing bowl mix the dry ingredients. Microwave the apple cider vinegar and pour over the dry ingredients to dissolve. Once mixed and dissolved add the ice cubes to cool.

Brine the Chops

  • Add the pork chops to the brine and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Flip and replace for 2 additional hours.

Cook the Chops

  • Rinse with water to wash away excess salt and brine. Grill on medium heat for 4 - 5 minutes on each side (will depend on thickness of chops, ours were about 1" thick). Remove from grill, let rest for 3 - 5 minutes, plate and serve with your favorite sides.
