The surprise ingredient in the marinade is coffee—it contributes a rich, almost smoky flavor to the meat and blends magically with the vinegar, mustard, and molasses. When you're ready for a break from more traditional tomato-based barbecue sauces, this is the recipe you need. Ingredients:
1/2 cup strong brewed coffee |
2 tablespoons cider vinegar |
1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard |
1 tablespoon dark molasses |
2 (1-pound) pork tenderloins, trimmed |
1/4 cup finely ground coffee |
2 tablespoons sugar |
2 tablespoons paprika |
2 tablespoons coarsely ground black pepper |
1 1/2 teaspoons sea or kosher salt |
1/4 cup barbecue sauce |
1 tablespoon cider vinegar |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Combine first 4 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag; add pork. Seal and marinate in refrigerator 2 to 12 hours, turning bag occasionally. Remove pork from bag; discard marinade.
2. Prepare grill, heating one side to medium and one side to high heat.
3. Combine ground coffee and next 4 ingredients (ground coffee through salt); rub over pork. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
4. Combine 1/4 cup barbecue sauce and 1 tablespoon cider vinegar. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the barbecue sauce mixture, and set aside.
5. Place pork on grill rack coated with cooking spray over high heat; grill 3 minutes, turning pork on all sides. Place pork over medium heat; grill 15 minutes, turning pork occasionally. Baste with 3 tablespoons barbecue sauce mixture; grill 5 minutes or until thermometer registers 160° (slightly pink), turning pork occasionally.
6. Place pork on a platter; brush with reserved 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce mixture. Cover with foil; let stand 5 minutes.
