Pork Chops in Beer Teriyaki Marinade

Categories: Tvfn, Pork, Japanese
Yield: 6 Servings

2/3 c Soy sauce
1/4 c Mirin (syrupy rice wine)
Or sweet sherry
1/4 c Cider vinegar
1/3 c Sugar
2 tb Chopped fresh gingerroot
2/3 c Beer (not dark)
6 Inch-thick rib or loin
Pork chops

Mirin is available at Asian markets and some supermarkets. After being
tenderized by a beer marinade, these chops require only a quick turn on the
grill or under the broiler to form the centerpiece of a hearty meal In a
saucepan combine the soy sauce, the mirin, the vinegar, the sugar, the
gingerroot, and the beer, simmer the mixture until it is reduced to about 1
1/3 cups, and let the marinade cool until it is room temperature. In a
shallow baking dish large enough to hold the pork chops in one layer
combine the pork chops and the marinade, turning the chops to coat them
thoroughly, and let the chops marinate, covered and chilled, turning them
several times, overnight. Pour the marinade into a saucepan and boil it for
5 minutes. Grill the pork chops on an oiled rack set about 4 inches over
glowing coals, basting them with the marinade during the last 5 minutes of
the cooking time, for 8 minutes on each side, or until they are just cooked
through. Alternatively the pork chops may be broiled on the rack of a
broiler pan under a preheated broiler in the same manner.
