Hurry up with two pieces of meat (4-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chop-chop

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hurry up' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'two pieces of meat' is the wordplay.
'two' says to double the letters.
'pieces of meat' becomes 'chop' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'chop' doubled is 'CHOP-CHOP'.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chop-chop that I've seen before include "Hurry up!" , "Get a move on!" , "Quickly!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
