Ingredients

  • 6 boneless pork chops
  • 3/4 cup brewed coffee
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Italian seasonings
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Mix brewed coffee with brown sugar in a sauce pan. Add Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasonings, smoked paprika, garlic and salt. 
  • Whisk mixture and heat to boiling and turn down to a simmer. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat and allow to cool. 
  • Speed up the cooling process by pouring marinade into a mason jar and place it in the freezer or refrigerator for about 15 minutes. 
  • Place pork chops a bowl or zip top bag and cover with marinade, turning to coat both sides. 
  • Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. 
  • Prepare grill to a medium fire, about 300°.
  • Place pork chops on grill and brush with marinade. 
  • Sear pork chops over the fire and turn to sear other side, about 2 minutes on each side.  Move to indirect heat and continue to cook until internal temperature reaches 145°, about 7-10 minutes.
  • Remove from grill and allow to rest 5 minutes before serving.

Baking instructions:

  • Preheat oven to 350°
  • Place pork chops on a greased or lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 145°.
