Barbecue "Ribs"
It’s tempting to down an entire rack of ribs at a barbecue or restaurant outing. These lean rib skewers are finger-lickin’ good!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 1 cup barbecue sauce, any brand with no more than 40 calories per 2 tablespoons
- 6 wood skewers
Instructions
- Slice the pork tenderloin into thin strips that are approximately ¼ inch thick, 4 inches long, and 1½ inches wide.
- Add the pork slices and barbecue sauce to a dish or sealable bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
- Soak skewers in water for about 20 minutes to keep them from burning on the grill.
- Preheat the grill or a grill pan to high.
- Carefully slide each pork loin slice onto a skewer lengthwise so the meat stays flat and the skewer becomes the “rib.”
- Place the “ribs” on the hot grill and pour the remaining marinade over the raw meat. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, or until cooked to desired doneness.
