Tips: I did not make the BBQ sauce she linked in the recipe. I personally love Lillie’s Q Carolina BBQ Sauce No. 40. I use the regular but they also have a zero sugar version.
I like to eat my pulled pork on a hamburger bun. I prefer potato buns (Martin’s is a favorite) or Hawaiian style.
I also like to top mine with a simple Coleslaw. 3-4 cups of Coleslaw mix, with a few tablespoons of low fat mayo, splash of apple cider vinegar or white vinegar, salt and pepper to taste, and about 1/2 tbs of olive oil. This isn’t a great coleslaw to eat by itself but it will give you a nice crunch and extra flavor for your pulled pork sanwiches while keeping the macros a bit lighter.

Tip: I didn’t use a recipe for the steak. You can use whatever cut you like but lately I have been loving Hanger Steak.
Take your steak out of the fridge 30 minutes to 1 hour before grilling so it can reach room temperature. This helps it cook evenly.
Season your steak generously with salt and pepper and a light coating of avocado oil. You can also do this overnight to help the salt penetrate the steak.
Cook your steak on a the grill at medium heat and use a meat thermometer to accurately cook it to your liking. I prefer medium rare.
After removing from the grill, rets your steak for at least 10 minutes, so you don’t lose all the juices.
Slice your steak against the muscle grain and enjoy!
