These beautiful cowboy pork chops get an incredible flavor boost from a simple beer and apple cider brine. The salt, sugar and acids tenderize the meat while the beer and apple cider deeply infuse flavor for amazingly juicy meat. Serve them with a bed of fresh green asparagus for a meal that’s perfectly simple and delicious. About the cut: Cowboy (or tomahawk) pork chops are a pork version of a beef cowboy cut ribeye steak with a bone extending out of the meat. This cut is flavorful and juicy but is a specialty cut that might not be stocked by every butcher. If they don’t have them on display, you can ask for a 1 1/2 to 2 inch bone-in center cut rib chop or loin chop. This recipe was created by our partner Paul Saladino who made the dish on our Oklahoma Joe’s® Bronco Drum Smoker and Oklahoma Joe's® Rambler Tabletop Charcoal Grill, but you can make it on your grill or smoker.
