    Found this posted byQBabe's Coffee-Crusted Pork Tenderloins
    Description: It sounds like an unlikely combination, but the flavor combination is one of the most FANTASTIC I've ever had. Give it a try!
    Ingredients: • 4 Tbs freshly ground coffee beans • ¾ tsp ground cumin
    • 4 tsp coarse salt, kosher or sea • ¾ tsp ground coriander
    • 4 tsp dark brown sugar • ¾ tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 2 tsp sweet paprika • 1-2 lb pork tenderloin (usually come 2 to a pkg)
    • 1 ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper • 2 Tbs canola oil
    • 1 ¼ tsp garlic powder
    • 1 ¼ tsp onion powder

    Instructions: In a small bowl, mix together the coffee, salt, brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, garlic and onion powders, cumin, coriander and cocoa.
    Sprinkle the rub on the tenderloins.
    Drizzle the tenderloins with oil and rub it in well.
    Wrap in plastic wrap and let sit for at least 4 hours (overnight is better).

    Preheat the egg to 300° - 325° dome temperature.
    Cook tenderloins direct on a raised grid for about 30-45 minutes, flipping every 10 minutes, until they reach an internal temperature of 145°.
    Remove from cooker and let rest 5-10 minutes before slicing.

    Notes: Serve with Redeye Barbecue Sauce (see Sauces section)
    Number Of Servings: Source: Inspired by a Raichlen recipe, but modified some..

    Bente,

    Not the recipe usually referred to on this forum, but for steaks I use:

    Star Anise and Coffe Rub
    5 or 6 pods star anise
    1 tablespoons whole coffee beans
    1 tablespoon black peppercorns
    2 teaspoons salt
    1 teaspoon sugar

    Grind everything to whatever coarsness you like.

    For steaks, I literally roll the steak in the rub until it will not hold anymore and then after it sits a while, I do it again. Seared over high heat, it produces something pretty close to blackened.

    I tried it on pork tenderloin last week and it was a bit strong for the pork. I will use it again, but with half as much star anise, a little more coffee and only one coating of rub.

    It is a different taste (a little bit little bit like licorice), so you might want to "try" it on a small piece before you go all in with it...

    After you have finished this cook, Do you find a problem biting down on coffee grounds while eating? We like coffee, but don't know how pleasant this would be.

    You need to grind the coffee pretty fine or you will get the coffee grounds in your teeth.
