Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg Pork belly strips (liempo)
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 5 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol sweetener
- 2 tablespoons Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Scallions, chopped
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, erythritol sweetener, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, chili powder, onion powder, and salt to create the marinade.
Add the pork belly strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
Remove the marinated pork belly strips from the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes.
Grill the pork belly strips for 20-25 minutes on each side, or until they are fully cooked, crispy, and caramelized. Baste with the remaining marinade occasionally during grilling for added flavor.
Once done, transfer the grilled liempo to a serving platter. Let them rest for about 5 minutes.
Garnish with chopped scallions before serving.
Serve the juicy and flavorful Keto BBQ Liempo with your favorite keto-friendly side dishes.
