Grilled Pork Chops Marinated in Spiced Coffee

Description:

Ingredients:

6-8 bone-in, 1-inch thick pork chops
1/2 cup strong coffee
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 ounces molasses
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoons hot chili paste
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 teaspoons hot paprika
6 to 8 sprigs fresh thyme
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

Place all of the ingredients into a 1-gallon zip top bag, seal, and shake to combine. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.

Preheat grill to medium-high.

Remove the pork chops from the marinade. Transfer the marinade to a small saucepan and place over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-high, and boil gently, stirring often, until reduced to about 1/2 cup liquid, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the thyme stems after the glaze has reduced.

Meanwhile, grill pork chops 3 to 4 minutes per side or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Allow the pork chops to rest 4 to 5 minutes before serving with the glaze.
