Coffee and Garlic Rubbed Pork Chops #SundaySupper

A few months ago, Jason and I went to one of our fave little Caribbean-esque restaurants for dinner. I pretty much always get the same thing; a jerk chicken and shrimp rice bowl. They also make an amazing sangria (and is always 2 for 1), that I order every time.

Jason opted for an espresso pork loin one visit for dinner, and I ended up eating more of his meal than my own. Fast forward a month or so, and we were out with friends, and someone raved a coffee-rubbed rib-eye steak they had, for the first time.

Coffee spice rubs are totally a thing, and I am loving it! Today, the #SundaySupper fam is sharing all things coffee, and I knew this would be the perfect time to try and recreate a similar coffee rub at home.

This rub is so versatile. It can be used on chicken, beef, and/or pork. Similar rubs call for brown sugar, and while I totally dig that, right now I am trying to keep my sugar intake down. I promise this rub needs no sugar.

With fall around the corner (but, how?!) this is a comforting meal with an earthy, warm taste. I love to keep it simple with thinly sliced pork chops. Any chop will do, though. A bone-in pork chop would feel more rustic and have a little more fat/flavor. This shredded Brussels sprouts recipe is my favorite side to pair with my Coffee and Garlic Rubbed Pork Chops.
