Steps:
- Make the sauce: in a saucepan over med-high heat, melt the butter.
- Add in the onion; cook 3 minutes, until tender, stirring occasionally to prevent browning.
- Add in the garlic; cook for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
- Remove pan from heat, carefully add in bourbon; then return pan to the heat (watch out-it might flame).
- Once the flame subsides, decrease heat to medium; add in the beef stock and cream; simmer until about 1/3 cup liquid remains, 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally (times will vary depending on the diameter of your pan).
- Add in the thyme; season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Make the rub: in a small bowl, mix together all the rub ingredients.
- Let the chops stand at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before grilling.
- Lightly brush or spray both sides of the chops with oil and season evenly with the rub, pressing the spices into the meat.
- Grill over Direct Medium heat until barely pink in the center of the meat, 8-10 minutes, turning once.
- Remove from the grill and let rest 3-5 minutes.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer and serve warm with the chops.
Tips:
- Use high-quality, thick-cut pork chops for the best results.
- Make sure the pork chops are evenly coated in the coffee rub before cooking.
- Sear the pork chops in a hot skillet until they are browned on both sides.
- Reduce the heat and cook the pork chops through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- To make the sauce, use a good quality coffee stout beer. The bitterness of the beer will balance out the sweetness of the brown sugar.
- Reduce the sauce until it is thick and syrupy.
- Serve the pork chops with the coffee sauce, mashed potatoes, and roasted vegetables.

Coffee-crusted pork chops are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The coffee rub gives the pork chops a unique and flavorful crust, while the coffee sauce adds a rich and savory flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
