Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine brown sugar, espresso powder, salt, 2 teaspoons honey powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, sweet paprika, black pepper, onion powder, cocoa powder, and ground chipotle in a bowl. Mix thoroughly and transfer 1 tablespoon of the rub into a small bowl.
• Place pork tenderloin on a work surface and trim off any silver skin. Pat dry with paper towels.

Let rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes.
• Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and roast tenderloin until slightly pink in the center, about 15 minutes.

On a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil, stack the ribs close together, about 3 layers high. Place in the oven for 2 hours, shifting the bottom layer of ribs to the top every 30 minutes until they are tender and almost falling off the bone.
• One half hour before serving, transfer ribs to a preheated grill (if using coals, make sure they have burnt down to an ember). Brush ribs with Espresso Sauce and close grill. Continue to turn and brush the ribs with sauce every 10 minutes, about 3 more times.
• Fresh ground black pepper
• Mash garlic with the side of a knife and then mince finely to release oils.
