Combine the water, the brown sugar, and the sea salt in a large bowl. Whisk well to dissolve the salt and the sugar. Add the pork chops, the fresh thyme, the red onion, the garlic, and the black peppercorns. Place the bowl in the refrigerator.

 

Refrigerate the pork chops in the brine mixture for at least one hour before cooking. When you are ready to cook them, pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Apply the spice rub equally on one side of each pork chop.

 

Cook the pork chops on a hot gas or charcoal grill for 5 minutes on each side. Allow the pork chops to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.
