Beautiful Body BBQ

Beautiful Body BBQ

BBQ pulled pork is popular with my family especially with a little cheddar cheese on it! But let’s be honest, BBQ is the last thing on a dieters menu! It is again my goal to take an everyday sauce and cut out the bad without cutting great flavor. We all know that brown sugar is what makes this sauce oh so delicious but I have come to the conclusion that we don’t need sugar to make this sauce taste amazing! (I know I cannot believe that came out of my mouth either…I love sugar!) As much as I love guilty pleasures, like sugar, I love being fit way more! So let’s get those toned whisking arms ready to whip up some amazing BBQ that even Sweet Baby Ray would approve of!

Skinny Grocery List:

The Meat -

3lbs (48oz) Pork Sirloin

32oz Vegetable Stock or Chicken Stock

2 C Water

1 Medium Yellow Onion

The BBQ-

6oz Tomato Paste (Check the Carbs and Sugar content and make sure they are as low as possible)

2/3 C of Walden Farms Maple Syrup (Zero Everything…that means sugar free…YAY!)

1/2 Tbsp. Yellow or Dijon Mustard

1 Tbsp. Worsteshire Sauce

2 Tsp. Chili Powder

1/4 C Chopped Onion (I like to use the Dried Onions because it saves so much time!)

1/2 C Water

1 Tsp. Creamy Horseradish

2 Tbsp. Black Pepper (Freshly Ground makes a huge difference in taste! Give it a try if you have it!)

1/4 Tsp. Sea Salt (Optional)

Give it some some kick with Horseradish

Tools to Tackle Skinny BBQ:

The Meat –

Crockpot with timed settings

Tongs

Measuring Cup

Knife

Cutting Board

Make sure your crockpot has a timer so you can walk away with no worries :)

The Sauce –

Large Mixing Bowl

Measuring Cup

Measuring Spoons

Whisk or Fork (Working arms later?!?! You can use a mixer if you would like. J)

Quick and Easy

Directions to Healthy BBQ Heaven:

Note: Cooking Time is beyond 12 hours due to slow cooking your meat and letting it cool.

Pour your 32oz container of vegetable stock and 2 Cups of water into your crock pot

Turn Crockpot on Low and time for 10-12 Hours (I put mine on low for 10 hours and let it set for an additional 2 before removing from pot)

Cut the top, bottom and outside layer of onion off and discard

Cut remainder of onion into 4 sections



1) Plug in your Crockpot and set timer 2 / 3) Add Water and Stock
4) Cut the top, bottom and outside of your onion - Cut into quarters



Take half of your onion apart and place in liquid

Place your Pork Sirloin into the liquid mixture; pull the other half of your onion apart and top sirloin

1) Add half your onion 2) place sirloin in crockpot
3) top with the remainder of your onion and let it Sloooow Cook

 Let Cook for 10-12 hours.

10-12 Hours Later……

Remove only the Sirloin from the juices and set aside in a container to cool (you can place this in the fridge as well)

While your sirloin is cooling lets work on your sauce…

In a large mixing bowl combine 6oz can of tomato paste and a ½ C of water – Mix Well

Add Syrup, Mustard, Worsteshire and Horseradish – Mix Well

Add the remainder of your ingredients and mix well

1) Tomato Paste and Water 2) Mix Syrup, Worsteshire, Mustard, Horseradish
3) Mix in Onions 4) Add the Remainder and....That's Right...Mix ;)

You should have at least 16oz of BBQ – Mmm Mmm Mmm Almost done!



Get Ready to Shred, Toss and Coat



Now Back to Your Meat….

Now you need to shred your pork by pulling into small pieces while discarding the fat as you go.

1) Pull Meat Out to Cool 2) Place in Bowl
3) After Cooled remove Fat (Ick!) 4) Shred

When all the Meat is Shredded Toss with your BBQ and Enjoy! YUM!!! (This is lightly coat your meat, to have a more saturated roast cut your meat back by a pound or double your BBQ recipe)
