Two-Step Pork Chops

Barbecue

Pork loin chops, about 15-20mm thick (trimmed of rind and excess fat)

For the marinade: ¼ cup tomato sauce

2 tablespoons apple juice

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

1 teaspoon chilli powder ½ teaspoon salt

Place all marinade ingredients into a medium bowl and whisk.

Place the pork chops in a large, resealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade. Press the air out of the bag and seal it tightly. Turn the bag several times to distribute the marinade, and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.

Remove the chops from the bag and discard the marinade. Barbecue the chops for 5 to 7 minutes each side, or until no longer pink in the centre.
