Coffee Crusted Pork Chops Food

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.

MOLASSES COFFEE MARINATED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Place all of the ingredients into a 1-gallon zip top bag, seal, and shake to combine. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Preheat grill to medium-high.
• Remove the pork chops from the marinade. Transfer the marinade to a small saucepan and place over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-high, and boil gently, stirring often, until reduced to about 1/2 cup liquid, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the thyme stems after the glaze has reduced. Meanwhile, grill pork chops 3 to 4 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Allow the pork chops to rest 4 to 5 minutes before serving with the glaze.
