Coffee Crusted Pork Loin Recipes

COFFEE-RUBBED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat the broiler to high.
• Combine the coffee, brown sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, garlic powder, crushed red pepper, cumin and paprika in a small bowl and mix well. Drizzle the pork tenderloin with 2 tablespoons olive oil and evenly sprinkle the rub all over, patting to adhere. Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Toss the green beans in a large bowl with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well coated.
• Put the pork in the center of a large cast-iron skillet or heavy ovenproof skillet and scatter the green beans around it. (The pork should be directly on the pan, not on top of the green beans.) Broil for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping the pork and tossing the green beans halfway through cooking. When ready, an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the pork should register 145 degrees F and the green beans should be tender and lightly charred.
• Allow the pork to rest for 10 minutes before slicing across the grain. Serve with the green beans.

COFFEE-CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOINS

Steps:

• Place a tenderloin on work surface and remove any silver skin. Place in baking dish. Place coffee, salt, brown sugar, paprika, pepper, garlic and onion powders, cumin, coriander, and cocoa in a small bowl and stir to mix. Sprinkle rub all over the tenderloins, patting it onto the meat with your fingertips. Drizzle oil over the pork and rub it on well. Let the pork marinate in the refrigerator, covered, for at least 4 hours or as long as overnight. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Place the pork tenderloins on the hot grate and grill until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side (12 to 16 minutes in all). To test for doneness, insert an instant-read meat thermometer into the meat: The internal temperature should be about 160 degrees F. Transfer the grilled pork to a cutting board and let rest for about 3 minutes. Slice tenderloins crosswise on a diagonal and serve at once with the Redeye Barbecue Sauce on the side. Redeye Sauce Place the bacon and onion in a heavy saucepan cook over medium heat until lightly browned, 3 minutes, stirring often. Stir in remaining ingredients and gradually bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer sauce until thick and richly flavored, 10 minutes, whisking from time to time. Correct the seasoning, adding salt and pepper to taste.
