Phat Smoked Pork Chops recipes

Sriracha..or ศรีราชา to my Thai friends…that magical chili pepper sauce that makes everything spicy and awesome. This smoked pork recipe uses a little (or a ton, depends on your testicular fortitude) of sriracha. Great smoked pork chops require two steps;

1. A tasty and penetrating brine
2. A low temperature smoke

In this recipe, I smoked on the Big Green Egg at 250°F for about 1 hour. The beer used in this was the Fat Tire Amber Ale for New Belgium Brewing.

Hardware

• 2 pork chops
• 8 oz. Fat Tire Amber Ale
• 8 oz. water
• 2 TBSP apple cider vinegar
• 2 TBSP sriracha
• ½ cup kosher salt
• 1 TBSP Thai green curry

Directions

• Combine Fat Tire Amber Ale, apple cider vinegar, sriracha, water, kosher salt, and chili powder in freeze bag
• Add pork bags to that freezer bag
• Brine pork chops for at least 4 hours, but not more than 12, in the refrigerator
• Heat Big Green Egg to 250°F, and add soaked hickory chips
• Place pork chops into the grill
• Smoke them for 1 hour, turning them once
