Boneless BBQ Pork Strips (from Clean Eating)


You will need:
  • 1 1/4 lb boneless pork tenderloin, trimmed of visible fat
  • Sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • Garlic powder, to taste
  • 1/4 cup plus 8 tsp natural barbecue sauce (no more than 7 to 10 g carbs and 1 g fat per 2-tbsp serving), divided  (I could not find natural, but I did use reduced fat)
  • Olive oil spray

Directions:

  1. Slice tenderloin in half crosswise. Slice each half lengthwise into quarters, leaving you with 8 strips. Season strips evenly on both sides with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Place pork in a medium resealable plastic container. Spoon 1/4 cup sauce over top and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
  2. Preheat broiler. Line a medium baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil and lightly mist with cooking spray.
  3. Remove pork strips from sauce, allowing any excess sauce to drip off. Place strips on baking sheet in a single layer so they do not touch.
  4. Broil 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and continue broiling until just barely pink inside, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Serve immediately with remaining sauce for dipping.
