Coffee Crusted Pork Recipes

COFFEE-CRUSTED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Make the sauce: in a saucepan over med-high heat, melt the butter.
• Add in the onion; cook 3 minutes, until tender, stirring occasionally to prevent browning.
• Add in the garlic; cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
• Remove pan from heat, carefully add in bourbon; then return pan to the heat (watch out-it might flame).
• Once the flame subsides, decrease heat to medium; add in the beef stock and cream; simmer until about 1/3 cup liquid remains, 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally (times will vary depending on the diameter of your pan).
• Add in the thyme; season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Make the rub: in a small bowl, mix together all the rub ingredients.
• Let the chops stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling.
• Lightly brush or spray both sides of the chops with oil and season evenly with the rub, pressing the spices into the meat.
• Grill over Direct Medium heat until barely pink in the center of the meat, 8-10 minutes, turning once.
• Remove from the grill and let rest 3-5 minutes.
• Bring the sauce to a simmer and serve warm with the chops.

COFFEE-CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOINS

Steps:

• Place a tenderloin on work surface and remove any silver skin. Place in baking dish. Place coffee, salt, brown sugar, paprika, pepper, garlic and onion powders, cumin, coriander, and cocoa in a small bowl and stir to mix. Sprinkle rub all over the tenderloins, patting it onto the meat with your fingertips. Drizzle oil over the pork and rub it on well. Let the pork marinate in the refrigerator, covered, for at least 4 hours or as long as overnight. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Place the pork tenderloins on the hot grate and grill until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side (12 to 16 minutes in all). To test for doneness, insert an instant-read meat thermometer into the meat: The internal temperature should be about 160 degrees F. Transfer the grilled pork to a cutting board and let rest for about 3 minutes. Slice tenderloins crosswise on a diagonal and serve at once with the Redeye Barbecue Sauce on the side. Redeye Sauce Place the bacon and onion in a heavy saucepan cook over medium heat until lightly browned, 3 minutes, stirring often. Stir in remaining ingredients and gradually bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer sauce until thick and richly flavored, 10 minutes, whisking from time to time. Correct the seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste.
