The Other White Meat

We don't normally eat "the other white meat" too often because pork tends to run on the dry side, but every now and then I luck out and eat some pork that's nice and juicy. I bought some thick-cut, boneless pork chops and tried out a new recipe. I forgot to take a picture of these moist and delicious chops, but after a long stressful day dinner was extremely satisfying to the taste buds. I added in about 6 tbsp of Oli's Sweet 'n Spicy Sauce, but the basic recipe itself I'm sure is pretty tasty; the Sweet 'n Spicy Sauce just adds a nice tangy kick to it.

Ingredients
1/4 cup ketchup
2 tbsp apple juice
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp Tabasco sauce
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
4 boneless pork chops

Directions
1. Whisk together all the ingredients except the pork chops.
2. Pork marinade over pork chops and store in refrigerator for 24 hours. (I suppose you could marinade them for 4-6 hours, but the longer the better).
3. When ready to cook, grill (or broil) pork chops over medium heat, about 8-10 minutes, until the internal temperature is 160 degrees.
