Coffee Rubbed Pork Chops Food

ALTON BROWN'S MOLASSES-AND-COFFEE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Combine the coffee, molasses, vinegar, mustard, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, the ginger, thyme and pork chops in a 1-gallon zip-top bag; seal and shake to combine. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high. Remove the pork from the bag. Pour the marinade into a saucepan; boil gently over medium-high heat, stirring, until reduced to 1/2 cup, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the thyme stems.
• Grill the pork chops for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145. Let rest for 5 minutes; serve with the glaze.

PORK RUB RUBBED AND BAKED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Mix paprika, sugar, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper together in a wide, shallow bowl. Dredge pork chops in the spice mixture to coat and arrange on a baking sheet.
• Bake chops in preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

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-SPICE PORK RUB FOR GRILLING

Steps:

• Combine ground coffee, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, chipotle powder, and cinnamon in a bowl until well blended.

COFFEE-CHIPOTLE PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Mix together the salt through allspice. Coat each pork chop with the rub, covering both sides generously. Reserve any leftover rub for a future use. Place the pork chops in a plastic food storage bag and refrigerate for 8 hours.
• To cook the pork chops, remove them from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-low heat. Add the pork chops, and cook on each side for 5 minutes. Place the skillet in the oven and cook the pork chops for 15 minutes, uncovered, or until a meat thermometer reads 145 degrees F. Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving (there will be carry-over cooking).
