This is a simple, no-fuss dish that comes together in minutes and makes a great presentation on your plate. Perfect for a light weeknight dinner, or for unexpected guests. The only change I made was substituting the salt & pepper for my own easy house meat rub which is salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. The flavor of the finished dish is going to vary by your choice of barbecue sauce, but as long as it's a favorite, it can't go wrong.
