Ginger Beer and Mustard Pork Chops Recipe

We love quick-cooking, thin-cut boneless pork chops, but they can often skew dry. Not here. When marinated in a simple blend of Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, and ginger beer, the lean cut becomes remarkably tender and bursting with spicy-sweet flavor, all thanks to that latter ingredient. Though ginger beer may seem like an unexpected addition, its acidity and sugary sweetness make it an ideal marinade, breaking down tough muscle fibers and glazing it in a thick, glossy coating. (Don’t confuse ginger beer for ginger ale, though; the latter is too sweet for this marinade.) Served with a peppery arugula and sliced shallots, these pork chops are the ideal low-effort, high-reward recipe.
