Schwenkbraten was a family favorite when we were stationed in Germany with the Air Force. The pork chops are delicious with potato salad, a baguette, or crusty rolls. Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • 10 onions, cut into wedges

  • 1 cup vegetable oil

  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 7 dried juniper berries, crushed

  • 1 tablespoon German stone ground mustard

  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme

  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano

  • 1 tablespoon paprika

  • 1 tablespoon curry powder

  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper

  • 8 (8 ounce) boneless pork loin chops

Directions

  1. Place onion wedges in a bowl. Use a large spoon to gently press onions until they release some of their juices. Combine oil, garlic, juniper berries, mustard, thyme, oregano, paprika, curry powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper with onions; mix to combine.

  2. Arrange pork chops in a large baking pan; pour marinade evenly on top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.

  3. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.

  4. Meanwhile, remove pork from marinade and allow to come to room temperature. Wrap onions separately in a foil pouch; discard marinade.

  5. Cook pork steaks and onions on the preheated grill until pork is no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes per side.
