Cook's Note
With slightly more marbling than regular pork chops, shoulder chops are ideal for grilling. They are available at most grocery stores and butcher shops. Pork-loin chops may be substituted.
Dag, these were really good pork chops! The garlic and beer gave them great flavor. I used basil instead of sage.
I love your show, how do you season a cast iron skillet?
