BUSH’S® Coffee & Chile Rubbed Pork Chop

Ingredients

  • For Rub:
  • 2 tablespoons coffee or espresso, finely ground
  • 1 teaspoon cumin, ground
  • 3 tablespoons chile powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper, ground
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • For Pork Chops:
  • 4 6-8 ounces each bone-in pork chops, at least 1 inch thick
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 
  •
  • 1 can (22 ounces) BUSH'S® Bourbon and Brown Sugar Grillin’ Beans®

Yields: 4 to 6

Preparation

For Rub: In small bowl mix together coffee, cumin, chile powder, pepper and brown sugar. Set aside.

For Pork Chops: Rub mixture evenly on both sides of chops. Place chops on a platter, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to overnight.

Remove chops, season with salt and pepper and rub each side lightly with oil.

Set clean, well-oiled grill to medium heat. When grill is hot, using tongs, place chops on grill. With grill lid open, cook until deep golden brown, about 4-6 minutes per side.

Reduce grill temperature to medium-low heat and cook until internal temperature reaches 160°F, about 2-4 minutes. NOTE: Pork chops may look charred because of coffee in rub.

Remove chops from grill, place on serving platter and let rest for 10-15 minutes.

Serve with BUSH’S® Bourbon and Brown Sugar Grillin’ Beans®.
