Beer marinated pork

The Viking diet doesn't consist of much meat.
Cows, sheep and horses were mainly kept for their milk, wool just as they served as labour and means of transport.
As it was difficult to do without these animals, it was quite rare that they would be slaughtered.
However, when it did happen, the farmer knew how to get the most out of the animals
and made use of everything, like e.g. the bones, skins and horns.
the pig was the only domestic animal kept just for the meat

Ingredients

1 piece of pork neck fillet, about 1 kilo.
600 ml good strong beer
3 cloves garlic, sliced
3 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
3 teaspoons chopped fresh summer savory (or rosemary)
2 finely chopped onions

Instructions

Mix the onions, herbs and beer and let the meat marinate in it for anything between 12 to 24 hours.
Grill the meat over indirect heat for about 2 hours or use a regular oven.
Frequently turn the meat and brush it with the beer marinade.
Slices of the grilled fillet should be served hot with e.g. a cabbage salad, spinach and fresh cream cheese.
Enjoy!
