recipe type: entrees
ingredients: 3-pound boneless pork loin
12 oz. IPA or amber ale
1/2 cup dark corn syrup
1/2 cup onion, peeled and finely chopped
1/3 cup prepared spicy mustard
1/4 cup cooking oil
1-2 tablespoons chili powder
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

Place pork in large self-sealing bag. In medium bowl, stir together beer, corn syrup, onion, mustard, oil, chili powder and garlic; pour over pork, seal bag and toss gently to coat pork. Refrigerate 4-24 hours. Prepare banked, medium-hot fire on covered kettle-style grill. Remove pork from marinade, reserving marinade for basting liquid. Grill pork over indirect heat, away from fire, basting every 10 minutes with reserved marinade, until internal temperature reads 150-155 degrees F. , about 1 hour. Discard any remaining marinade; remove pork from grill and let rest 10 minutes before slicing to serve. Serves 12
