The Roux (Cooking/BBQ/Recipes) What good is a cajun site without a cooking and recipe forum?

I thought the same thing when I first heard of it. You want to make sure your coffee is ground fine. Even if it's not, the juices from the meat actually softens the grounds to where it isn't like eating raw beans. I just used Community Dark roast for this one and I didn't grind it any finer. I then used about 2 - 3 tablespoons of the grinds, 1 tablespoon of sugar, then salt, black pepper, and cayenne to make a dry rub. I coated the chops with a light layer of bacon grease then coated it in the rub. I wouldn't say it gives the meat a coffee flavor, but more of an earthy flavor. It did make a crust which I would compare to a good sear on a steak. Not crunchy like eating raw coffee. I've used it on pork chops, pork loin, and chicken and it works for all of it. I haven't used it on stake because I'm a purist with my steak. Little sea salt and fresh ground black pepper. Anything else is blasphemy.

Sounds good Matt. I know when my neighbor told me his secret to a good pork roast was to cook it in coffee I thought he had lost his mind. Now it's the only way I do it. Especially wild pork.
