Molasses Coffee Marinated Pork Chops

By AuntieGooper

Ingredients

• 1 cup cool strong coffee
• 6 ounces molasses, by weight
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
• 6 to 8 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 4 (6 to 8-ounce) bone-in, 1-inch thick pork chops

Preparation

Step 1

Directions
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
