Grilled Jamaican Jerked Pork Loin Chops image

I like to buy a whole pork loin then cut them into chops so that I can get the thickness just right. You can also use the marinade with pork tenderloin, baby back ribs, and chicken.

Time 8h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ (12 ounce) bottle lager style beer
3 fluid ounces dark rum
¼ cup molasses
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup lime juice
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1 scotch bonnet chile pepper, minced
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
2 teaspoons chopped fresh marjoram
1 ½ teaspoons ground allspice
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 bay leaves
8 (6 ounce) pork loin chops
kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Pour the beer, rum, molasses, soy sauce, and lime juice into a bowl. Stir in the garlic, ginger, scotch bonnet pepper, thyme, and marjoram. Season with allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and bay leaves. Place the pork chops into a zip top bag, and pour in the marinade. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Prepare an outdoor grill for medium heat. Take the pork chops out of the marinade, place on a plate, and allow to sit at room temperature for 15 to 20 minutes as the grill heats.
  • Season the chops to taste with kosher salt and cracked black pepper. Grill the chops on both sides until a thermometer inserted into the center registers 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Allow the pork chops to rest for about 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
