Ingredients

  • 6 pork chops (bone in, ¾" thinck)

Coffee marinade

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients for the marinade in a large bowl and use a hand blender to mix well. You can also use a blender. Place the pork chops in a 1 gallon zip top freezer bag and pour marinade over them. Try to purge out the excess air and seal. Refrigerate for about 6 hours; if you can marinate overnight, even better.

  • When internal temperature reaches 145°F, transfer to a platter, cover and allow them to rest for about 5 minutes.
  • Serve with your favorite sides.
