Chef notes

The pulled pork sandwich is one of the best-selling items at my restaurants — and for good reason: It's a Southern barbecue classic. My keto take on it keeps all the traditional smoky, meaty flavors we all love, but replaces the bun and the traditional carb-heavy sides with some complimentary, and even more flavorful, veggies. You'll love it so much you won't miss the bread; I promise you that.

Ingredients

BBQ Beef Rub
  • 1 cup kosher salt

  • 10 cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1 tablespoon BBQ Beef Rub (recipe above)
  • 2 tablespoons mayo
