These BBQ Pork Chops are juicy and flavorful, coated in a tangy low-carb barbecue sauce that elevates the dish to a new level. Perfectly grilled, they offer a delicious and satisfying meal without the carbs.

Ingredients

• Pork chops - 2 (about 200g each)
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Onion powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Apple cider vinegar - 2 tablespoons
• Sugar-free ketchup - 4 tablespoons
• Worcestershire sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Mustard - 1 teaspoon
• Liquid smoke - 1/2 teaspoon (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a rub.
3. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
4. In another bowl, combine apple cider vinegar, sugar-free ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and liquid smoke to create the barbecue sauce.
5. Once the grill is hot, place the pork chops on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 63°C (145°F).
6. During the last few minutes of cooking, brush the barbecue sauce over the pork chops, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
