Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 6 whole garlic cloves in 1 tbsp olive oil and wrap in foil; roast for 30 minutes until soft and fragrant.
  2. Step 2: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup Irish stout, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 1 tbsp soy sauce. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes until thickened into a glaze.
  3. Step 3: Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Season 4 bone-in pork chops with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves.
  4. Step 4: Brush pork chops with half the stout glaze and grill for 4-5 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 145°F, basting with remaining glaze halfway through.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, boil 2 lbs peeled and quartered russet potatoes in salted water for 15 minutes until tender. Drain and mash with 4 tbsp unsalted butter, 1/2 cup whole milk, and the roasted garlic cloves squeezed from their skins until smooth and creamy.
  6. Step 6: Serve the grilled pork chops atop a scoop of roasted garlic mashed potatoes, drizzling any extra glaze over the top.
