Who posted the Coffee Crusted Tenderloin?!

Sundown

Bless you whoever you are. I just made the rub and if that's any indication of what's to come I can't wait till tonight! That Red Eye sauce looks great too. I'll make that up a little later.

Sundown,[p]I think it was either NB (Nature boy) or Qbabe. NB (actually Dizzy Pig) has a great rub that is Coffee-infused. I used it on Lamb lollipops (Rack of Lamb last night). Mmmmmm, good! We've been eating a lot of lamb lately.[p]Smokey

Hi Smokey, Have you done lamb chops yet? I usually broil them, but I would love to try them on the egg.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Kris

Smokey

Kris in FL,[p]Yup! Do em just like steaks. Sear at 700+ degrees for 2 minutes per side, then dwell for 5 to 6 to medium rare. The dizzy pig rug is still a favorite, but Rosemary and garlic are great too!

Procedure
The Rub
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 oil over the tenderloins and rub it in well.
Wrap in Saran Wrap and let sit at least 4 hrs but overnight is better.
Meanwhile, make the sauce.
Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan 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 heat slightly and let the sauce simmer until thick and richly flavored, about 10-15 minutes, whisking from time to time.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
You can serve the sauce hot or at room temperature.

Sundown,[p]Hopefully, you'll be as happy with it as we were...it's one of my favorite ways to do pork tenderloins. [p]Tonia

QBabe,
quick question for you as I also use coffee in a couple of my favorite recipes, but both of mine use instant coffee - is that what you meant or was it ground coffee...or does it even matter?

QBabe

RRP,[p]It's fresh ground coffee and I think it does matter. The instant stuff just doesn't have the same rich flavour.[p]Tonia
