This dish has a wonderful aroma. It’s like brewing coffee in the kitchen, only that you are outdoors. The coffee compliments the pork, which makes it tastier and the sauce takes the taste and texture of the meal to the next level. Here’s a recipe for coffee lovers out there.
Ingredients:
Sauce:
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 cup bourbon
1 cup beef stock
6 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon finely chopped thyme
salt
ground pepper
Rub:
3 tablespoons finely ground dark-roasted coffee
1 teaspoon finely chopped thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
4 boneless pork loin chops about 1″ thick
extra virgin olive oil
In a small bowl, mix the rub ingredients and place it in a zip lock bag. Place the pork in the bag, shake and seal. Marinate for 2 hours or more. For best results, refrigerate overnight.
In a medium saucepan, melt butter and sauté the onion. Stir occasionally for 3 minutes, add garlic and continue to stir for another 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and carefully pour the bourbon. Heat and mix in beef stock and cream. Stir occasionally. Add thyme. Season it with salt and pepper.  Simmer for about 15-20 minutes or when the sauce has been reduced to 1/3 cup.  Set aside.
Remove the chops from the zip lock bag and lightly brush or spray both sides with oil.
Grill for 5 to 10 minutes on each side. Remove from the grill and let it rest for 2 minutes. Heat the sauce and pour over the chops.
