Ingredients

  • 3 teaspoons espresso coffee finely ground, I used Bustelo
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 4 pork chops bone-in

Instructions

  • Mix all of the rub ingredients together well in a small bowl.
  • Generously rub the dry rub into the pork chops and then allow the chops to sit on the counter for about 20 minutes while you get the grill ready.
  • Light the grill and heat to about medium high heat.
  • Place the pork chops on the grill.  For thinner cuts, 1 inch or less, grill them over direct heat with the lid open.  They should cook rather quickly, about 5 - 8 minutes per side (depending on the temperature of the grill obviously).  For thicker cuts, grill with a little lower heat and close the lid.  The same times should apply, but you may need to go longer.  You can check the doneness using a pair of tongs.  The more firm the meat is, the more it has cooked through.
  • Remove the pork chops from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before cutting into them.
