Coffee Crusted Pork Tenderloins

Smokin' Blues

Tried QBabe's Coffee Crusted Pork Tenderloins tonight. They were awesome! The flavor was out of this world. Who would of thought you could use coffee in a rub. I would recomend this for everyone to try.

Personally, I like to add a little chocolate to my coffee rubs. :cheer:

Where does one find the recipe? I tried the cookbook section with no luck but then I am a very low tech redneck.

I believe this to be the QBabe recipe you seek:

The rub....

1 1/2 lbs pork tenderloin
3 tbsp ground coffee beans
1 tbsp coarse salt (kosher or sea)
1 tbsp dark brown sugar
2 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tbsp canola oil

Mix the rub ingredients together. Sprinkle the tenderloins liberally. Drizzle the oil on them and rub it in well. Wrap in saran wrap and let marinate in the refrigerator at least 4 hours or overnight.

The sauce....

1 tbsp butter
1 slice bacon, finely chopped
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
3/4 cup brewed strong coffee or espresso
3/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup heavy (whipping) cream
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tbsp molasses
2 tbsp brown sugar
Coarse salt (kosher or sea) and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Melt the butter over medium heat. Add the bacon, onion, and garlic and cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Stir in the coffee, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, cream, mustard, molasses, and brown sugar and let the mixture gradually come to a boil. Reduce the heat and let sauce simmer until thick and richly flavored, about 10 minutes, whisking from time to time. Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can serve the sauce hot or at room temperature. Makes about 2 cups of sauce.

Did the tenderloins direct on a raised grid at a dome temp of 300° - 325° for about 30-40 minutes and pulled at 148° internal. Let them sit for about 10 minutes, then sliced and served.
