So - first of all, choose a piece of pork that is likely to be extra tasty on bbq. The chops are great, although sometimes they tend to be a little dry on a bbq.
I used Collar (in the picture), it's the pork version of Scotch fillet on a cow. Tasty with a minimal amount of fat going through it, enough to keep it moist on the barbie :) So juicy and delicious, and is still very ok when slightly over-cooked, as it just keeps getting more tender whilst the fat crisps up and caramelises.
What you will need:
Soy Sauce
Oyster sauce
Tabasco (the chipotle one is amazing, esp for bbq's!)
Garlic
Ginger, fresh (dried is ok if not)
Lemon
Place the pork in a container (ideally sealable, so that you just have to shake it around every now and then)
Sprinkle the marinade ingredients over, there is no need to put too much, you don't want it to be swimming in it!!!, just very well coated. I find that this makes for more tender meat, if you chuck it in a pool of marinade, i feel that the juices of the meat seeps out and you will end up with a drier finished product.
Marinade for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
Cook on bbq until just about cooked through. :)
If i buy my pork from a reputable butcher, i don't have any issues eating it at medium-well done, rather than completely well done. it's SO much nicer in taste and texture that way :) but yeah.. make sure you trust the butcher before doing so.
