Pork Chop Brine

This simple pork chop brine makes even the toughest cuts of meat a savory delight!

Ingredients :

  • 4 cups water
  • ¼ cup kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns

  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary
  • 4 boneless pork chops

Directions :

  • In a medium-sized pot add water, kosher salt, sugar, peppercorns, bay leaf, and rosemary.

  • Remove the pot from the heat and cool completely.
  • Once the brine is cool add the pork chops to a large ziptop bag and pour in the brine.
  • Let the pork brine in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
