Texas Two-Step Pork Chops

Submitted by chef blade

"From Weber's 'Grill out Times' newsletter. I didn't even change the corny name. Added cayenne pepper the second time around for more heat. Nice, unmessy way to grill chops"

This is a very easy marinade, perfect because the apple juice adds a touch of sweetness. I marinated it overnight, so it was very tender. I used garlic powder because it distributes more evenly, and less vinegar than the recipe called for. My husband really liked the flavour, and we'll make this again.

DH and I are a big fan of Weber's recipes and this one did not disappoint us. We took your advice Chef Blade and added cayenne for a little extra kick. These chops are great and are so easy to make. A great "company" recipe.

yummm ... I'm still licking my chops. A definite grilling keeper. I ran out of red wine vinegar so did half and half red wine vinegar and balsamic vinegar. Only marinated the chops about 3 hours but they were still fabulous! For those afraid of spicy stuff ... try this anyway ... this is more sweet & tangy even with the hot sauce (I used Louisiana hot sauce). Hubby (our designated grill-meister) is your new fan. Thanks for a great meal!

This was absolutely wonderful. We used it on pork chops and they were tender and very flavorful. Thank for a great recipe. We will use this one again and again.
