Beer And Mustard Brined Pork Loin Recipes

BEER BRINED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Whisk the beer, wine vinegar, corn syrup, mustard, garlic, sage, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the onion and pork chops, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the pork chops and onions from the marinade and set aside on a platter. Drain the marinade through a fine-mesh strainer, discarding the strained liquid. Spread the garlic mixture caught in the strainer over the pork chops. Wrap the onions in aluminum foil.
• Cook the packet of onions and the pork chops on the preheated grill until the pork is no longer pink in the center, about 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

SPICY BEER-BRINED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Place pork in large zip lock bag. In medium bowl, stir together beer, corn syrup, onion, jalapeno, mustard, oil, chili powder, honey, garlic and rosemary; pour over pork, seal bag and toss gently to coat pork. Refrigerate 6-24 hours.
• Heat grill to medium high. Remove pork from marinade, reserving marinade for basting liquid.
• Grill pork over indirect heat, away from fire, basting every 10 minutes with reserved marinade, until internal temperature reads 150-155 degrees F., about 45- minutes to 1 hour. Discard any remaining marinade; remove pork from grill and let rest 10 minutes before slicing to serve.

BEER AND MUSTARD BRINED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Mix water, sugar, salt, mustard, garlic, peppercorns, thyme and bay leaves in a large glass or stainless-steel bowl, stirring until sugar dissolves. Stir in cold beer. Add pork; cover. Refrigerate 4 hours or up to 12 hours. Heat charcoal grill for indirect cooking or gas grill to medium (325), turning off burners in the center of the grill. Remove pork from brine; discard brine. Place pork on grill away from heat; cover. Cook until a thermometer inserted in center registers about 150 degrees on a meat thermometer, 35-40 minutes. Transfer pork to a cutting board; tent loosely with foil. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting into thin slices.

MAPLE-BRINED PORK LOIN

• Remove pork from brine, pat dry, and season all sides with salt and black pepper.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Heat vegetable oil in an oven-proof skillet over high heat. Cook pork, turning to brown each side, about 10 minutes total.
• Transfer skillet to the oven and roast until pork is browned, about 40 minutes.
• Mix 2 tablespoons maple syrup and Dijon mustard together in a small bowl.
• Remove pork roast from the oven and spread maple syrup mixture on all sides. Cook for an additional 15 minutes, until the pork is no longer pink in the center. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
