Schwenkbraten: German Grilled Pork Chops
Report
It is time to get in the swing of the Oktoberfest season with our Authentic Schwenkbraten (pun intended). These German pork chops are marinated for 24-72 hours and then grilled to perfection over an open flame. Wash it down with a 64 ounce stein of beer and you are in food heaven.

Ingredients
- 2 Pounds pork chops or pork steaks
Marinade
- 2 yellow onions Thinly Sliced
- ½ Cup canola oil
- 15 black peppercorns Crushed
- 5 juniper berries Crushed
- 3 garlic cloves Minced or finely chopped
- 1 Tablespoon German Mustard or Grainy Mustard
- 2 teaspoons paprika Smoked or Sweet
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or died
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne
Instructions
- Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl or bag and mix to combine.
- Add the pork chops or pork steaks to the marinade. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or up to 3 days.
- Prepare your grill or smoker for medium-high heat (about 400 degrees) and direct cooking.
- Remove the pork from the marinade and wrap the marinated onions in foil.
- Place the onions in their foil packet and the pork on the grill. Grill the pork chops for about 3-5 minutes per side. Flip 1 more time and move to a cooler section of the grill or to indirect heat.
- Continue to cook until you reach an internal temperature of 140 degrees then remove from the grill. Actual cook time will depend on the thickness of the pork chops and the cut of pork you are using. Carryover temp with bring the pork to at least 145 degrees.
