Grill it like a steak…but with pork chops that it. Pork chops are often roasted in the oven or cooked over the stove, but they are wonderful cooked over a grill. Plus with thick, high-quality and natural pork chops you won’t be wanting anything else.

Pork makes a simple and flavorful weeknight meal, even cooked over a BBQ. These Cowboy Coffee Rub Grilled Pork Chops use a simple homemade rub that penetrates flavors deep into the meat. I mean it’s literally glistening with flavor once you grill it. Just look at those rugged, cowboy inspired chunks of delicious pork.

You can easily make this beautiful recipe in less than 30 minutes and with a handful of common pantry spices. There’s a few key ingredients to the cowboy coffee rub. Coffee, obviously is a subtle, but important flavor. Paired with smoked paprika, cumin, herbs, chili powder, dried garlic and onion.

Another critical ingredient is brown sugar. It helps hold the rub together as well as adds a nice caramel sweetness to the grilled pork chops. On that note, the rub actually caramelizes into a crunchy, smoky, spiced, sweet…you get the point….rub.

For the pork I recommend Smithfield All Natural Fresh Pork. I’ve cooked with a few times and love the flavor and quality. It’s tender and juicy without added steroids, hormones or artificial ingredients; proudly raised in the USA by Smithfield farm families. This recipe is completely clean and uses only natural ingredients. Something you and your family can feel good about.

Cooking tips: If you love your pork medium rare, you should cook it to an internal temperature of 145 degrees (followed by a three-minute rest). If you like your chops a little more done, you can cook them to an internal temperature of 160 degrees.
